Não foi apreciado espessamento da parede do cólon (asterisco). Figura 2 A reconstrução coronal mostra o apêndice epiplóico inflamado (seta) com hiperdensidade linear central, provavelmente devido a trombose da veia central. Um discreto espessamento inflamatório do peritoneu parietal adjacente é melhor visualizado nas imagens coronais. Apendagite Epiplóica: Um Diagnóstico Frequentemente Esquecido
