Abstract

Epiploic appendagitis (EA) is an unhabitual cause of local abdominal ache in any other case of healthy patients. It has a lot of similarities on clinical issues that might mimic diverticulitis, appendicitis or mesenteric infarction especially if it occurs on the lower right quadrant. The diagnosis of EA is very infrequent due to low consciousness by clinical physicians. This case report aimed to review and describe different clue radiological findings on computed tomography (CT) that helps to establish the diagnosis of EA to avoid unnecessary surgery.
