Can omental torsion be fatal?
Omental torsion is very rare and is almost never diagnosed preoperatively. The condition is usually found once exploratory surgery has begun and other potential abdominal abnormalities have been ruled out. Omental torsion is rarely fatal and recovery is usually swift, depending upon how evasive the incisions are. Most cases of omental torsion occur in adults and affects both men and women equally.
