Abstract (EN):
Omental infarction, a rare entity in children, has been increasingly diagnosed by imaging techniques allowing the adoption of non-operative treatment. Herein, we report a clinical case of internal hernia secondary to adhesions in a boy with omental infarction. This harmful complication brings up the dilemma between operative and conservative management, and emphasizes the need of active surveillance when non-operative approach is adopted. © 2014 The Authors.
