“…However, patients with epiploical complications are less unwell compared to those with acute appendicitis, usually with a slight increase in temperature and leukocyte count. [4][5][6] In other situations, the condition may mimic other acute abdominal conditions such as diverticulitis, torsion of an ovarian cyst and cholecystitis, depending on the location. Local abscess formation may occur, simulating a neoplastic process.…”

“…Approximately 50-100 appendages are distributed from the cecum to the rectosigmoid junction. 8,10 They are arranged in 2 rows along the taenia libera and the taenia omentalis except for the transverse colon, where only 1 row is present. Normal appendages can be seen only on sonography or CT when they are surrounded by free intraperitoneal fluid 11 ( Figure 1).…”

“…Normal appendages can be seen only on sonography or CT when they are surrounded by free intraperitoneal fluid 11 ( Figure 1). Most of them are 2-5 cm long and 1-2 cm thick; the largest occur in the cecum and sigmoid colon, 8,10 with vessels passing through their narrow pedicle. The pedunculated nature and the great mobility of the appendages are factors increasing the possibility of torsion and infarction.…”
