ABSTRACT
Eitel first described omental torsion in 1899. Omental torsion is rarely diagnosed preoperatively, knowledge of this pathology is important to the surgeon as it mimics common acute surgical abdomen. For this reason in the absence of diagnosed preexisting abdominal pathology including cyst, tumors, foci of intra-abdominal inflammation, postsurgical wounds or scarring and hernia sacs, omental torsion can present a surprise. Exploratory laparotomy represents the diagnostic and definitive therapeutic procedure, presently laparoscopy is the first choice procedure.
