Can an epiploic appendagitis come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: We're still unsure what causes it but one theory is that the fat appendage on the colon gets twisted which cuts off its blood supply. This can certainly recur but it's rare in the first instance and there isn't an increased risk for a second occurrence.
