Epiploic appendagitis a challenging imaging diagnosis

Epiploik apendisit epiploik apendikslerin tromboz ve torsiyonuna sekonder kendini sınırlayan bir inflamasyon durumudur. Klinik bulgular spesifik değildir ve sıklıkla yanlış tanıya neden olur. Diğer bir yandan bilgisayralı tomografide epiploik apendisitin görünü- mü tipik olarak iyi tanımlanmıştır.Bundan dolayı bu durumun tanısını koymada klinisyenler bilgisayarlı tomografiyi düşünmelidir.

Epiploik apendisit: Görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tanı

Epiploic appendagitis is a self-limited condition secondary to torsion or thrombosis of the epiploic appendages, usually followed by inflammation. The clinical findings are non-specific, leading to frequent misdiagnosis situations. On the other hand, the Computed Tomography (CT) features of epiploic appendagitis are quite typical and well described. Therefore, physicians should consider the diagnostic role of CT in this underdiagnosed challenging disease.
