Abstract
Epiploic appendagitis, which is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen, is a benign self-limiting inflammatory process of epiploic appendices. It has primary and secondary types. Computed tomography findings of the primary type are specific but are demonstrated rarely. Herein, we present pre- and post-treatment computed tomography findings of two cases who admitted to the emergency clinic with acute abdominal pain and were diagnosed to have epiploic appendagitis. Follow-up computed tomography features correlated well with clinical improvement.
