Subacute epiploic appendagitis (SEA) is a rare inflammatory condition involving the epiploic appendages of the colon. It often presents with nonspecific abdominal symptoms and can mimic various gastrointestinal disorders, leading to diagnostic challenges. Here, we present a case of a 74-year-old female who initially presented with left-sided abdominal pain and incomplete stool emptying, raising suspicion for other conditions such as cathartic colon. However, imaging studies revealed characteristic findings suggestive of SEA, highlighting the importance of considering this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain.
亚急性网膜附件炎（SEA）是一种罕见的炎症性疾病，累及结肠的网膜附件。它常表现为非特异性腹部症状，可模仿各种胃肠道疾病，导致诊断困难。在此，我们报告一例74岁女性患者，最初表现为左侧腹痛和排便不尽，这引发了对其他疾病如泻剂性结肠的怀疑。然而，影像学检查发现了提示SEA的特征性表现，凸显了在腹痛鉴别诊断中考虑这一罕见疾病的重要性。
