    Abstract:
    Results of treatment of 87 children with infiltrative subacute omentitis (ISO) which appeared after operation for acute appendicitis are described. ISO has its clinical and morphological picture, can be complicated by comissural obstruction of the intestine (27 patients) or abscess formation (10 patients). It was observed in acute appendicitis in 0.18% of the cases, after appendicular peritonitis--in 2.8%. The operation of choice in infiltrative omentitis is supposed to be a removal of the greater omentis, in abscessing omentitis--resection of the omentum. Two patients with ISO developed after appendicular peritonitis died.
