INTRODUCTION A left paraduodenal hernia is a rare congenital malrotational anomaly of the midgut that occurs in the paraduodenal fossa of Landzert to the left of the fourth duodenum. It is responsible for approximately 1% of small bowel obstructions. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of left paraduodenal hernia combined with small bowel obstruction in a 47-year-old Mediterranean woman who ha...

Paraduodenal hernias are infrequently occurring rotational anomalies. We report a case of a right paraduodenal hernia repaired via laparoscopy, which occurred in a 13-year-old boy.

Internal intestinal hernia has been defined as bulging of the intestines through a normal or an abnormal peritoneal or mesenteric opening. Paraduodenal hernias comprise 30%-53% of all internal intestinal herniations and account for 0.2%-0.9% of all bowel obstructions. In this paper, we aimed to present a male patient of 42 years of age who developed intestinal obstruction due to left paraduoden...

A 60-year-old Japanese man was referred for examination of abdominal pain. Abdominal MRI exactly demonstrated paraduodenal hernia. Propylthiouracil was administered until the patient became euthyroid, because Graves' disease was detected during the subsequent general examinations. Laparoscopic repair was then carried out. The sac collar, which had a diameter of about 30 mm, was located lateral ...

An internal hernia-congenital or acquired-is a protrusion of bowel through an opening in the peritoneum or mesentery. Internal hernias are the etiology of <2% of intestinal obstructions, with paraduodenal hernias being the most common type of congenital internal hernia. We report a case of a left paraduodenal hernia (LPDH) combined with partial small bowel obstruction in a 69-year-old male with...

Internal hernia is herniation of a viscus, usually in the small bowel, through a normal or abnormal aperture within the peritoneal cavity. Its incidence has been reported to be one to two per cent. Internal hernias are classified based on location, and the hernial orifice can be either congenital or acquired. Paraduodenal hernias are the most common type (53 per cent). Paraduodenal hernia is of...

a 41-year old mentally retarded patient presented acutely with a 3 day history of vomiting and absolute constipation.  intestinal obstruction was diagnosed following an abdominal x ray. at laparotomy, a left paraduodenal hernia was present, without incarceration of small bowel. the herniated loops were reduced and the hernia orifice closed. the anatomy, treatment and importance of considering t...

Paraduodenal hernias are a rare congenital malformation, but they are the most common internal hernias. They develop secondary to a failure in midgut rotation, which may lead to small bowel obstruction or other clinical manifestations. The authors recently experienced a case of a left paraduodenal hernia presenting with unusual symptoms of left flank pain and vomiting.
