ABSTRACT
The authors report one case of primary torsion of the greater omentum. The presenting symptoms are similar to those of an acute appendicitis. Diagnosis is rarely considered before laparotomy. The presence of sero-sanguineous peritoneal fluid should lead to careful exploration of the omentum, with resection of the involved segment.
