Omental infarction in children: color Doppler sonography correlated with surgery and pathology findings

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our report is to describe color Doppler sonography findings of omental infarction and correlate them with surgical and pathology findings. Ten children underwent preoperative gray-scale and color Doppler sonographic examinations; omental infarction was confirmed at surgery. CONCLUSION: Color Doppler sonography findings were reviewed and correlated with surgical and pathology findings. Color Doppler sonography features of idiopathic omental infarction differ from those of infarction secondary to omental torsion.
