Internal Hernias: Unusual Causes of Small Bowel Obstruction, About 11 Cases
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Internal hernia is defined as the protrusion of an abdominal organ through a peritoneal or mesenteric aperture. It is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. The incidence of these hernias is estimated at between 0, 2 and 2% of abdominal hernias, and 0.2% to 0.9% of autopsies [1,2]. It can be primitive or secondary to an abdominal intervention. Internal hernias are classified based on the location of the potential defect [3]. The aim of our study is to report 11 cases of primitive internal hernia, representing different anatomical types.
