Omental infarction should be vigilant in patients with acute abdomen:a case report of successful laparoscopic treatment of omental infarction
Omental infarction is one of the rare causes of acute abdomen.Because of its non-specific abdomi-nal signs,it is easy to be confused with other peritoneal diseases,posing a certain challenge for preoperative diag-nosis.We reported a 51-year-old female patient who was treated for right upper abdominal distending pain with el-evated inflammatory indicators,and underwent laparoscopic surgery after admission in view of the patient's right upper abdominal signs.During the operation,purplish black necrosis was found in the minor omental infarction of the patient,and the postoperative pathology confirmed the omental infarction.The patient recovered quickly after surgery and was discharged successfully 2 days after surgery.This case reflects the importance of omental infarc-tion as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen,and laparoscopic surgery is recommended for patients with severe abdominal signs and high inflammatory indicators.
