                • Omental infarction (OI)

              • Definitions

                • Primary (idiopathic) OI refers to vascular compromise of omentum, ± torsion
                • Secondary OI may result from torsion due to: (a) attachment to acquired lesion (e.g., surgical scar and neoplasm), (b) trauma, or (c) hernial incarceration
