Giant Sigmoid Diverticulum

The giant colon diverticulum is a rare disease. Symptomatology is non-specific but can cause acute abdomen in 30% of cases. Diagnosis is often accidental and is mainly based on CT. The treatment is surgical but there are still few cases treated laparoscopically. We present the case of a patient treated laparoscopically who returns to the ward after a month with intra-abdominal abscess and internal hernia without intestinal occlusion.

Internal hernias are an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction with an incidence of 0.2-0.9%, therefore their early diagnosis represents a challenge. The most frequently herniated organ is the small bowel, which results in a wide spectrum of symptoms, varying from mild abdominal pain to acute abdomen. We present the case of an eight-year old patient with nonspecific digestive symptoms, a transoperative diagnosis was made in which an internal hernia was found strangulated by plastron in the distal third of the appendix. Appendectomy was performed and four days later the patient was discharged without complications.

Abdominal Hernias

Despite the accumulated practical experience and an exhaustive description of hernias of the mesentery of the transverse colon in the latest literature (Menego and Bardesco), there is still a lot of unclear pathogenesis of this disease. Internal hernias of the abdominal cavity in the vast majority of cases are just an accidental finding during surgery. A patient with an internal hernia of the abdominal cavity who has met in our practice undoubtedly deserves to be reminded of this type of "acute abdomen".

History Of

Primary omental infarction is a relatively rare and often presents as right sided abdominal pain. It is often diagnosed as appendicitis and is usually picked up intra-operatively, or - as often seen nowadays - on imaging. We describe a series of four cases of primary omental infarction that presented to us with varying clinical features. Three of them had a short history of right sided abdominal pain, whereas the fourth patient had a longer history of left sided abdominal pain. All 4 were managed operatively, with the fourth having presented with an intra-abdominal abscess that required laparotomy. Primary omental infarction is a diagnosis which must be considered in any case of acute abdomen. Cases diagnosed with certainty on imaging may be managed conservatively but must be followed up closely. Need for surgical intervention should be considered in select cases.
