Omental torsion: a rare cause of acute abdomen
N Z Med J.

Abstract
Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen which often required surgical intervention. Preoperative diagnosis by clinical examination alone is almost never possible. Increasing use of CT is making it possible to diagnose this preoperatively. An adult male case is presented that highlights these points.
