Omental infarction is an inflammatory, self-limiting, benign and infrequent process of the omentum major, resulting from vascular involvement. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who went to the Emergency Room with lancinating abdominal pain, located in the mesogastrium, with irradiation to the lower left quadrant. On physical examination of the abdomen, decreased hydro-aerial noises, pain on palpation on the left flank and left iliac fossa, left lumbar percussion fist (+) are heard. The ultrasound was not contributory and the tomography revealed, in the left iliac fossa, an image of fat density of 30 mm x 15 mm with hyperdense halo, adjacent to the anterior edge of the descending colon in relation to left omental infarction. The importance of diagnostic presumption and the decision between conservative or surgical treatment is highlighted.

Aims The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the prevalence and incidence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Materials and methods We searched MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE and LILACS databases of published observational studies in LAC up to December 2020. Meta-analyses of proportions were performed using random-effects models using Stata Program 15.1. Heterogeneity was evaluated through sensitivity, subgroup, and meta-regression analyses. Evidence certainty was performed with the GRADE approach. Results Twenty-nine studies from eight countries were included. The estimated prevalence of DPN was 46.5% (95%CI: 38.0-55.0) with a significant heterogeneity (I2 = 98.2%; p<0.01). Only two studies reported incidence, and the pooled effect size was 13.7% (95%CI: 10.6-17.2). We found an increasing trend of cu...
