Abstract
We report a patient with epiploic appendagitis who presented with acute abdominal pain. Emergency Department and discharge courses are described. The pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this disorder are discussed. Knowledge of this uncommonly diagnosed entity and its usual benign course may allow the Emergency Physician to order the appropriate studies to help avoid unnecessary surgical treatment.Entities:
