| Primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA) is a condition that results from spontaneous
torsion, ischemia, or inflammation of an epiploic appendage. This condition is manifested
by localized abdominal pain and tenderness, which is often mistaken for diverticulitis
or appendicitis in the adult population. PEA is a self-limiting disease, and differential
diagnosis with surgical condition is important in order to prevent unnecessary
surgery. Although it is commonly reported in adults, it is rarely reported in the pediatric
population. We report on the radiologic findings of two cases of PEA in a 12- and a
17-year-old boy, focusing on sonographic findings. |
