A member asked:

Do you know anything about epiploic appendagitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Appendix: epiploica is fatty attachment to the external wall of colon. Rarely these can twist or infarct and cause pain, often mimicking acute appendicitis. Diagnosis is often difficult, even with CT imaging. If you had this condition and it has been treated, you should have no further problems. Ask your doctor for specific advice on this rare condition.
