Torsion of an appendix epiploica: a rare cause of acute abdominal pain

Strangulated Appendix Epiploica in Paraumbilical Hernia: Preoperative Diagnosis and Laparoscopic Treatment

Appendix epiploica can occasionally cause acute abdominal pain. The usual presentations are torsion or primary epiploic appendicitis. Strangulation inside a paraumbilical hernia with acute abdominal pain is seldom reported in the literature. The authors report a case of preoperative diagnosis and laparoscopic treatment of strangulated appendix epiploica in paraumbilical hernia that presented as acute abdominal pain.
