ACG Case Rep J. 2014 Jul 8;1(4):223-4. doi: 10.14309/crj.2014.60. eCollection 2014 Jul.

Abstract

Left-sided omental infarction (OI) is rare in both the adult and pediatric patients. To our knowledge, only 2 pediatric cases of a left-sided OI have been reported in the literature. We report a case of an obese 13-year-old male who presented with a 6-day history of intermittent, colicky, left upper quadrant abdominal pain.
