Omental Torsion Triggered by Abdominal Massage in Acute Appendicitis: A Case Report

Background

Omental torsion is a rare condition that can cause acute abdominal pain similar to appendicitis, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. Abdominal massage, although commonly used as a complementary therapy to relieve pain and digestive disorders, has the potential to increase intra-abdominal pressure, which can trigger serious complications, including omental torsion.
