Abstract

Primary omental infarction, acute or subacute, may present as acute abdomen or as sub-acute abdominal pain which frequently mimics other surgical emergencies. Primary omental infarction is idiopathic^[1] in contrast to secondary which is associated with other intra abdominal pathologies. We present here a case of primary omental infarction with abscess formation infiltrating into the anterior abdominal wall muscle layers, presenting as abdominal pain with parietal wall swelling (in contrast to intra abdominal lump which is the common presentation) eventually managed with surgical intervention.

Keywords: omental infarction; omental abscess; parietal wall swelling; acute abdomen
