“…The pathognomonic "ring sign" often appears as a peripheral hyperdensity corresponding to inflammation of the serosa. However, it's important to note that the absence of this sign does not necessarily exclude the diagnosis of acute epiploic appendigitis [8,9].…”

Adnexal torsion is a surgical emergency that cannot be ignored in women. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. While the occurrence of adnexal torsion in pregnant women is rare, it still can present significant risks. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman, pregnant at 24 weeks of amenorrhea and consulted for an acute abdominal pain. She underwent exploratory laparoscopy, which revealed ovarian torsion caused by a functional cyst along with epiploic appendigitis. During the procedure, we punctured the cyst, detorsed the adnexa and resected the epiploic appendigitis. The postoperative follow-up was favourable. Ultrasound at 2 weeks showed continued pregnancy.

Epiploic appendagitis is a condition characterized by the ischemia and inflammation of the epiploic appendices of the colon that, can cause severe abdominal pain. It’s relatively rare. In the present article, we describe the clinical case of a 45- year-old man who was admitted with localized pain in the left iliac fossa. Physical examination revealed rebound tenderness. CT scan showed fat infiltration at the colosigmoid junction in the form of an ovoid fat imag surrounded by peripheral hyperdensity, suggestive of epiploic appendagitis. The evolution was favorable under medical treatment combining nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.

Appendagitis is an inflammation of the epiploic fringes, generally unrecognized by the clinician. It is responsible for abdominal pain and may mimic other causes of acute abdomen. It can be primary or secondary. In this article, we describe the first case of primary epiploic appendagitis in a renal transplant patient who consulted for left inguinoscrotal pain, which was diagnosed as primary epiploic appendagitis.
