A 36-year-old man was admitted with a 3-day history of severe abdominal pain in the right upper abdomen and was initially diagnosed with acute cholecystitis or acute retrocecal appendicitis. The patient was transferred to the department of surgery for close surgical observation. CT of the entire abdomen was performed just before the operation, which demonstrated inflammation in the omental fat. Surgery revealed primary omental torsion and subsequent resection of the infarcted segment offered a rapid recovery. We report a case of primary segmental omental torsion and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of this unusual entity.
