Type your tag names separated by a space and hit enter Abstract BACKGROUND The presentation of primary abscess of the greater omentum is similar to other acute abdominal disorders. [unboundmedicine.com]

RESULTS: In a patient who presented with symptoms consistent with an acute surgical abdomen, an unusual intraabdominal pathogen was found within a primary omental abscess upon abdominal exploration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Splenomegaly

  Coexistence with lymphadenopathy (seen more commonly in tuberculosis than sarcoidosis), ascites, splenomegaly and splenic lesions may point to the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis [ 9 ]. [omicsonline.org]

  Most cases of secondary torsion occur in patients with inguinal hernias [4]. Most of the cases are presented as acute right-sided abdominal pain and misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. [hindawi.com]

• Abdominal Pain

  Abstract A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of her right upper abdominal pain. During her hospitalization, the abdominal pain deteriorated and peritoneal signs were observed. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

  Here, we report the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with intermittent lower abdominal pain; subsequently, an intra-abdominal mass found by abdominal ultrasound. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Surgeons should include the diagnosis of omental torsion in their differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. Peer Review reports Background Omental torsion and infarction are rare and unusual causes of acute abdominal pain. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

• Hypertension

  As a radical treatment for portal hypertension, surgical creation of a portacaval fistula produces an anastomosis between the hepatic portal vein and the inferior vena cava across the omental foramen (of Winslow). [diki.pl]

  It can occur in conjunction with infection and peritonitis – however, it is more commonly caused by portal hypertension (secondary to cirrhosis of the liver). [teachmeanatomy.info]

  Of these, liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension is one of the most common causes of omental edema (53, 54). [jksronline.org]

(See Workup, Computed Tomography.) Sequential, multiple organ failure is the main cause of death. [emedicine.medscape.com]

A thorough blood workup reveals normal values in some cases. Leukocytosis with increased levels of C-reactive protein of the plasma and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate are nearly always present [ 152, 52 ]. [em-consulte.com]

Our experience with the present case suggests that surgical treatment, including cavernostomy as one option, should also be considered when dealing with lung abscesses resisting medical treatment and causing compromised respiratory function. [read.qxmd.com]

All patients received analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment, which has also been proposed by other authors,1,2 although antibiotic treatment has been disputed in other cases.3,4 After clinical improvement, patients were discharged from [elsevier.es]

Intestinal perforation treatment usually involves bowel resection, however, the most common treatment is suture of the perforation[8]. [wjgnet.com]

Prognosis Abscess The prognosis has improved considerably with the advent of drainage under CT scanning. Deaths are generally due to the underlying disease process or unsuspected foci of infection. [patient.info]

The prognosis is poor. However, when low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix spreads to the peritoneal cavity, the consequence is typically pseudomyxoma peritonei, which is a distinct tumor with a better prognosis. [radiologyassistant.nl]

Prognosis The introduction of computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis and drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses has led to a dramatic reduction in mortality. (See Workup, Computed Tomography.) [emedicine.medscape.com]

A definitive diagnosis of primary omental abscess was made on the basis of the surgical and pathological findings, although no identifiable etiology was found. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Abstract We report a case of a primary abscess of the omentum without any obvious etiology. A 62-year-old man was referred to our clinic with lower abdominal pain, and computed tomography showed an intra-abdominal abscess in the left pelvic area. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The exact etiology is not known. [tropicalgastro.com]

The etiology was inflammatory in six cases, including appendicitis (n = 2), pancreatitis (n = 1), ulcerative colitis (n = 1), Crohn's disease (n = 1), and ischemic colitis (n = 1). [auntminnie.com]
