A patient presented with an acute abdomen at the Emergency Department. The patient, a 69-year-old man, was admitted and underwent surgery with a provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis. During surgery, omental torsion was diagnosed and the involved omentum was removed. The patient had no previous surgical history. Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen in children and adults who may present with various signs and symptoms; a preoperative diagnosis may therefore be difficult and can usually only be established during surgery.
一位患者因急性腹痛到急诊科就诊。患者为 69 岁男性,入院后接受了手术治疗,初步诊断为急性阑尾炎。术中诊断为网膜扭转,切除了受累的网膜。患者既往无手术史。网膜扭转是儿童和成人急性腹痛的罕见病因,其可能表现出各种不同的体征和症状;因此术前诊断可能较为困难,通常只能在术中确定。
