Epiploic appendagitis results from ischemic inflammation due to torsion or thrombosis of the vascular supply of the epiploic appendages. While rare, it can present with acute abdominal pain that mimics more serious conditions, leading to potential misdiagnosis. CT is the primary imaging modality for diagnosis, offering high specificity by revealing characteristic findings. We reviewed imaging features from cases and relevant literature to identify the most reliable diagnostic signs on CT [3,4].
