Abstract
Disorders of the epiploic appendages are rare, usually affecting the middle age group(1,2). They are rarely diagnosed preoperatively being commonly confused with diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon and other causes of acute abdominal pain. Conservative treatment with antibiotics and pain relief is usually safe. We present a case of a young female with acute epiploic appendagitis being diagnosed preoperatively as appendicitis and we review the literature.
