dc.description.abstractThe pathophysiology and clinical course of focal fat infarction of appendage of falciform ligament is similar to other acute fat infarction abdominal conditions like omental infarction and epiploic appendagitis in that it presents with acute abdominal pain and responds well to conservative treatment. Importance of radiological diagnosis is to avoid unnecessary surgery.[1] Torsion and focal fat infarction of appendage of falciform ligament is an extremely rare condition which presents with acute abdomen. It can mimic other serious abdominal conditions which require urgent surgical intervention. It is important to be aware of its computed tomography (CT) findings so as to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention. We present CT findings in case of focal fat infarction of appendage of falciform ligament in a young male who presented with acute epigastric pain.en_US
