Abstract
Idiopathic epiploic infarction is a rare disorder that manifests with nonspecific clinical symptoms that can mimic a variety of acute abdominal conditions. Imaging, particularly CT, is used to evoke the diagnosis, to search for associated abnormalities and complications. Management is essentially medical but surgical treatment may be considered in complicated cases. We describe the case of a patient with an epiploic infarction complicated by omental necrosis who was managed surgically.
