The primary torsion of the omentum is an exceptionally rare cause of acute abdomen. The authors, after reporting a case recently observed, discuss the still unknown aetiopathogenetic aspects, point out the problems of diagnosis and finally suggest the most correct surgical approach to avoid relapses or disregard pieces of necrotic omentum.
