“…Omental infarction, with or without torsion, is one such incidental diagnosis. Omental infarction is a rare abdominal emergency that affects middle-aged patients, predominantly males (male/female ratio, 3:2),7 usually without an identifiable cause (idiopathic or primary infarction). The incidence of omental torsion is 0.0016%, compared with 0.37% for appendicitis, or less than 4 cases per 1,000 cases of appendicitis 8.…”

“…In the study conducted by Van Breda Vriesman et al11 in 1999, nearly 70% of the patients with omental infarction were obese. Secondary torsions more often occur because of previous surgery, tumors, adhesions, and incarcerated hernias, with the dependent omentum becoming fixed in the contorted position and unable to untwist 7 , 8. Omental infarction without torsion occurs in the setting of systemic diseases such as vasculitis, as well as in hypercoagulable states and pancreatitis.…”

“…The distinction between omental torsion and omental infarction without torsion is thought to be only of academic importance 8. The literature also states that ischemic processes involve mainly the right side of the omentum, probably due to its greater size, weight, and mobility 7…”

Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, and the cause of omental infarction itself remains unknown. The diagnosis of omental infarction is occasionally made intra-operatively, because it is poorly known and presents no specific clinical features. Therefore omental infarction should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal inflammatory processes, mainly those affecting the right lower quadrant. The increasing use of computed tomography in cases of acute abdomen has facilitated the diagnosis of omental infarction in the pre-operative period. Here, we present the case of a 36-year-old, overweight female patient with clinical symptoms of acute abdomen. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed indications of omental infarction. The patient was treated conservatively with analgesics and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. The clinical evolution was favorable.

“…Esse esforço permitiria colocar em discussão a adequação e o rendimento de abordá-las, analiticamente, como "facções nacionais". Ainda sobre o tema da "expansão", mas também sobre a emergência de novas facções e redes criminais, em parte de agendas emergentes, aparecem trabalhos que destacam a necessidade de pensar como "o crime" agencia infraestrutura, serviços e proteção, produzindo a mobilidade de pessoas, a circulação de mercadorias ilegais e a comunicação digital no Norte-Nordeste (Fraga, 2014;2019;Rodrigues e Amorim, 2020;Pinho;Rodrigues;Diniz, 2021). Tais movimentos expressam novas conexões entre atores que transitam e tecem negócios através de fronteiras internacionais e nacionais, interestaduais e intraestaduais.…”
