Primary omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain often mistaken for acute appendicitis. A 40-year-old female was admitted to our clinic complaining of right lower quadrant pain, which she had felt for a period of two days prior to admission. We found tenderness and rebounding pain at the patient’s McBurney’s point coupled with fever and leukocytosis. A laparotomy was performed after an initial diagnosis of acute appendicitis. An infracted covering over the cecum and ileum with completely tight torsion (twisted five times in a clockwise direction) was resected. This paper presents our experience with this patient and reviews relevant literature on cases of omental torsion mimicking acute appendicitis.
