Abstract :Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, with an incidence rate of less than 0.37%. Due to its non-specific symptoms, it is often confused with other causes of acute abdominal pain, such as acute appendicitis. In this case presentation, we will discuss a 26-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain and was diagnosed with perioperative omental torsion. The diagnosis of omental torsion is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms. When a diagnosis cannot be established in acute pain, diagnostic laparoscopy should not be delayed. Omental torsion can be easily treated with laparoscopic omentectomy.Keywords : Akut batın, Karın ağrısı, Laparoskopik cerrahi, Omentum torsiyonu
