Objetivo

Describir los hallazgos en ecografía y tomografía computarizada (TC) del infarto omental y la apendicitis epiploica.

Material y métodos

Se valoraron retrospectivamente los hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos de los pacientes diagnosticados en nuestro hospital como apendicitis epiploica o infarto omental entre agosto de 1994 y marzo de 2001.

Resultados

Encontramos una alta incidencia (42 casos) de estas dos patologías: 30 pacientes con diagnóstico de apendicitis epiploica y 12 con diagnóstico de infarto omental. Cuatro pacientes fueron tratados quirúrgicamente, mientras que los 38 restantes se trataron de forma conservadora, sin complicaciones posteriores.

Conclusiones

La imagen en ecografía y TC es característica, permitiendo hacer un diagnóstico de apendicitis epiploica o infarto omental con seguridad. No es necesario hacer un diagnóstico diferencial entre las dos entidades porque su pronóstico y tratamiento son similares. Su incidencia es mucho más frecuente de lo previamente publicado.

Objective

Describe the findings in the ultrasonography and computerized tomography (CT) of the omental infarction and epiploic appendicitis.

Material and methods

The clinical and radiological findings of the patients diagnosed in our hospital with epiploic appendicitis or omental infarctions between August 1994 and March 2001 were assessed retrospectively.

Results

We found a high incidence (42 cases) of these two diseases: 30 patients with diagnosis of epiploic appendicitis and 12 with the diagnosis of omental infarction. Four patients were treated surgically, while the remaining 38 were treated conservatively, without posterior complications.

Conclusions

The ultrasonography and CT image is characteristics, making it possible to make a diagnosis of epiploic appendicitis or omental infarction with certainty. It is not necessary to make a differential diagnosis between the two entities because their prognosis and treatment are similar. Their incidence is much more frequent than thatpreviously published.
