Management is self-limiting; however, some require surgical intervention. This case describes a 41-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency service for a clinical picture of an acute abdomen. On physical examination, the abdomen was soft, depressible, and painful on palpation in the left upper quadrant. A computerized axial tomography (CT) was requested, which revealed a hypodense oval image with a hyperdense center compatible with epiploic appendagitis. The patient received conservative therapy and was then discharged. Seven months later, the patient returned for an acute abdominal condition; complementary tests were negative, and she was treated again with conservative therapy. For 12 months, the patient has not relapsed. This case describes the recurrences in this rare pathology and the treatment that should be evaluated to avoid these relapses. 2023 otro 0120-9957 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=337779447014 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447014/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447014/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447014/337779447014.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447014/movil 10.22516/25007440.901 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3377 Revista Colombiana de Gastroenterología application/pdf Asociación Colombiana de Gastroenterologia Revista Colombiana de Gastroenterología (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.38 |
