Last revised by Mohammad Salem Amer on 11 Mar 2024

The hyperattenuating ring sign is a sign that has been described with epiploic appendagitis and intraperitoneal focal fat infarction. It refers to a hyperattenuating ring of visceral peritoneum. In the setting of epiplogic appendagitis, the ring would surround a thrombosed vascular pedicle with a resultant associated central hyperdense spot sign.
