When the Appendix Is Not the Culprit: Primary Omental Torsion Causing Acute Abdominal Pain

2026Open accessBahir Dar University

Abstract

Primary omental torsion is a rare but important cause of acute abdominal pain in adults, often mimicking appendicitis. In resource-limited settings, careful intraoperative exploration after excluding common causes is essential, as timely omental resection leads to rapid recovery and prevents complications.
