Secondary omental torsion as a cause of acute abdomen in a patient with long-standing right-sided inguinal hernia

Omental torsion (OT) is a rare disease entity and in most cases it requires an emergent surgical procedure. Here we report the successful surgical management of secondary omental torsion in a patient who presented with acute abdomen. After the right diagnosis was established by CT-scan the patient underwent surgical procedure where the torsioned and necrotic omentum was successfully identified and resected. The outcome was satisfactory as patient discharged home quickly and recovery was uneventful.
