Epiploic appendagitis is a rare cause of acute to subacute lower quadrant abdominal pain. It has 2 subtypes: primary and secondary Epiploic appendagitis. Primary epiploic appendagitis is characterized by inflammation of the epiploic appendages caused by torsion or thrombosis of the draining vein of the appendage whereas secondary Epiploic appendagitis may occur in association with other inflammatory etiologies in the abdomen and pelvis. Due to its similarity to other causes of acute abdomen, patients with primary epiploic appendagitis often undergo unnecessary treatment with antibiotics and surgical intervention. We present a case of a middle-aged male who was diagnosed with primary epiploic appendagitis based on imaging studies and was successfully managed with conservative treatment.
网膜附件炎是急性至亚急性下腹部疼痛的罕见病因。它有两种亚型：原发性和继发性网膜附件炎。原发性网膜附件炎的特征是由于网膜附件引流静脉扭转或血栓形成导致附件炎症，而继发性网膜附件炎可能与腹部和盆腔的其他炎症病因相关。由于其与其他急腹症病因相似，原发性网膜附件炎患者常接受不必要的抗生素治疗和手术干预。我们报告一例中年男性病例，该患者根据影像学检查被诊断为原发性网膜附件炎，并通过保守治疗成功治愈。
