Primary epiploic appendicitis are considered to be a rare cause of acute abdomen. We reported 2 cases in which computed tomography CT suggested the diagnosis. Primary epiploic appendicitis shows characteristic CT findings that allow the diagnosis and follow-up. This entity resolves spontaneously and CT helps in avoiding unnecessary surgery.

Case Reports[Thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava].
A 39-years-old woman was admitted with pelvic pain and fever occurring one month after a caesarean. An echography-doppler and an abdominal tomodensitometry were performed. ⋯ A temporary percutaneous caval filter was successfully used in the peri-operative period, preventing a second embolism. This observation focuses on a rare pathology occurring in young women and emphasises the safe use and removal of a temporary percutaneous caval filter in the peri-operative period.
