    Author: Madha ES, Kane TD, Manole MD.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2018 Feb; 34(2):e32-e34. PubMed ID: 28816771.
    Abstract:
    Primary omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain with a clinical presentation resembling acute appendicitis. Here, we report the case of a 7-year-old child presenting with right lower quadrant pain. Primary omental torsion was discovered upon laparoscopy, and the torsed omentum was excised without postoperative complications. Potential causes, contributing factors, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed.
