| الوصف: | Acute abdominal pain in children is the most common cause of emergency department admissions. Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain in this age group, accounting for approximately 15% of cases in children and 0.024–0.1% of cases of surgery for suspected appendicitis at the same age. Its clinical presentation may mimic similar diseases such as acute appendicitis, epiploic appendagitis, and mesenteric panniculitis. Ultrasound is the modality of choice for the initial evaluation of acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients and it can be used with confidence in the diagnosis and management of omental infarction in children. In this brief review, we focus on the main ultrasound findings and their diagnostic clue for omental infarction and its mimics.
