A Rare Case of Idiopathic Omental Necrosis in a Young Adult: Diagnostic Challenges and Management

Idiopathic omental infarction, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen, particularly when clinical findings do not align with typical appendicitis. Advanced imaging modalities such as contrast-enhanced CT can facilitate preoperative diagnosis, potentially preventing unnecessary surgical interventions. However, in cases of diagnostic uncertainty, surgical exploration remains a mainstream approach. Awareness of this condition can improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize patient management.
