[Torsion of an omental cyst. A rare cause of abdominal pain in children].
A case of torsion of an omental cyst in a boy aged three years is described. Operation was undertaken for suspected appendicitis. As a rule, the diagnosis is established during operation. If the condition is suspected clinically, the diagnosis may be established by ultrasonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance. Treatment of omental or mesenteric cysts is always surgical.
