Abstract

Omental infarction is an infrequent cause of acute abdominal pain and there is no consensus on whether conservative or surgical treatment is the best strategy. The clinical diagnosis remains challenging without complementary imaging investigations, due to its clinical similarity with other more frequent causes of acute abdominal pain. We herein report a case of infarction of the greater omentum mimicking acute pancreatitis.
