Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment of an Acute Epiploic Appendagitis with Torsion and Necrosis Causing an Acute Abdomen
Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, 2026Co-Authors: Vázquez-frias J.a., Castañeda Pablo, Valencia Salvador, Cueto JorgeAbstract:Acute Epiploic appendagitis is not as rare as previously thought; but, since the presenting signs and symptoms are not specific, preoperative diagnosis has been rarely made. At the present time, a laparoscopic exploration of the peritoneal cavity will establish the correct diagnosis, and the treatment can be provided during the same procedure. Herein, a case of a 63-year-old female patient with acute abdominal syndrome caused by a necrotic Epiploic Appendix that was successfully diagnosed and treated laparoscopically is described. A review of the literature is made, as well

Appendagitis acute, a rare cause of abdominal pain: A case report
Elsevier, 2018Co-Authors: S.i. Gamboa-hoil, Y.g. De La Paz-ponce, F. Pat-cruz, H.g. Heredia-barrera, J. Rivero-osorioAbstract:Cecal appendagitis or cecal Epiploic appendicitis is produced by torsion or thrombosis of a vascular pedicle of an Epiploic Appendix; it presents itself as pain in the right iliac fossa, simulating an acute appendicitis; having a self-limiting course with spontaneous resolution within 2 weeks. It does not require surgery, but only treatment with painkillers.We report the case of a male patient who came to the emergency room with pain in the right iliac fossa; without improvement of symptoms, he underwent surgery resulting with cecal appendagitis, his treatment and subsequent evolution. Resumen: La apendagitis cecal o apendicitis Epiploica cecal se produce por la torsión o trombosis del pedículo vascular de un apéndice Epiploico. Se presenta como dolor en fosa iliaca derecha, simulando un cuadro de apendicitis y tiene un curso autolimitado con resolución espontánea en 2 semanas. El tratamiento es a base de analgésicos sin requerir cirugía.Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino con dolor persistente en fosa iliaca derecha, intervenido quirúrgicamente y con reporte histopatológico de apendicitis Epiploica cecal.

human anisakiasis in italy a report of eleven new cases
Pathology Research and Practice, 2002Co-Authors: S Pampiglione, Francesco Rivasi, Mario Criscuolo, Anna De Benedittis, A Gentile, S Russo, Mario Testini, Michele VillaniAbstract:Summary The authors report on eleven new human cases of anisakiasis occurring in Italy, and emphasize the importance of the infection in clinical medicine, histopathology and public health. For ten of these cases, the diagnosis was based on histological findings: an eosinophilic granuloma associated with a larva of Anisakis sp. For one of them, the larva was removed from the stomach by endoscopy. Nine of the subjects were from Apulia and two from Molise (regions of southern and central Italy, respectively). Ten of them were surgically treated, and in one case the endoscopical extraction of the parasite resolved the situation. In two cases, the gastric wall was affected, in three the intestinal wall, in a further three the omentum, in one the spleen, and in the final two the mesentery and the Epiploic Appendix. In all the cases, the parasite was discovered unexpectedly during surgical treatment of the patients for supposed illnesses, which had originally been misdiagnosed. In three cases, the patients were also affected by cancer. Human anisakiasis must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of acute, abdominal synddromes in subjects who have ingested raw fish or squid a few hours to a few days before the onset of symptoms. Histopathologists should consider the possibility of this parasitic infection when confronted with an eosinophilic granuloma of the digestive tract, mesentery or peritoneum. The incidence of anisakiasis in Italy is probably higher than reported, as some cases might not be diagnosed and others might heal spontaneously.

Unusual case - Torsion of the Epiploic Appendix: An unusual cause of acute abdomen
Medknow Publications, 2007Co-Authors: Bandyopadhyay, Samik Kumar, Jain Mayank, Khanna Shashi, Sen Bimalendu, Om TantiaAbstract:Summary: Torsion of an Epiploic Appendix is a rare surgical entity. We present our experience in a thirty five year old female patient and a forty year old male patient. Materials and Methods: A 35 year old lady had presented with right iliac fossa pain of 2 days duration. Guarding and rebound tenderness was present over the area. Investigations showed mild leucocytosis and neutrophilia. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed an inflamed Epiploic Appendix which was excised. Other intrabdominal organs were normal. A 40 year old male patient had presented with a history of recurrent, colicky, and paroxysmal right lower quadrant pain for 2 months. At laparoscopy, an inflamed torted Epiploic Appendix of the ascending colon was detected and excised. Other intrabdominal organs were normal. Results: Both the patients had an uneventful recovery and are asymptomatic at follow up of 10 and 7 months respectively. They have been followed up at 7 days, 4 wks and then 3 monthly. Discussion: The clinical presentation of an inflamed appendices Epiploicae may be confusing. CT is helpful in disgnosis. Laparoscopy may be used to diagnose and treat the condition as well. Conclusion: Diagnostic laparoscopy is an useful tool for surgeons in assessing abdominal pain where the cause is elusive. It may be used to diagnose and treat torsion of an Epiploic Appendix effectively
