Apparent paradoxical vault changes with middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts--implication for aetiology.

This association is unusual and unique. The existing literature is reviewed and the probable aetiological factors discussed.

Epiploic appendagitis and segmental omental infarction are more frequently encountered with the increased use of abdominal ultrasound and Computed tomography (CT) in the radiological assessment of the patient who presents clinically with acute abdominal pain. Recognition of specific imaging abnormalities enables the radiologist to make the correct diagnosis. This is important, as the appropriate management of both conditions is often conservative. Follow-up imaging features correlate with clinical improvement.
