The aim of this report is to assess clinical findings and surgical treatment of left paraduodenal hernia, which is an unusual type of internal herniation, in light of the literature. The diagnosis and treatment course of a 42-year-old male patient with findings of intestinal obstruction was assessed and presented together with literature search. The patient underwent surgery with a preliminary ...

INTRODUCTION An internal hernia is the herniation of an intestinal segment into an intra-peritoneal fossa, is an uncommon cause for intestinal obstruction and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a male patient 19 years old presenting with acute abdomen due to a strangulated Waldayer's hernia. DISCUSSION The paraduodenal hernias are more common in males (M...

Internal herniation of small intestine is a very rare entity, and it poses a real diagnostic challenge clinically. Recurrent entrapment of the bowel may lead to partial to complete intestinal obstruction and eventually strangulation of the small bowel. Of this rare clinical entity, left paraduodenal hernia is more common. High index of suspicion with prompt management may prevent bowel strangul...

Hernia is an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a defect in its surrounding walls. It can be divided into internal, external and diaphragmatic hernias. Most of them can be asymptomatic. If they become symptomatic they can present with features of intestinal obstruction, incarceration or strangulation. In this case series we compare the incidence of these rare presentations of her...

The authors presented a case of left paraduodenal hernia as a cause of closed loop small bowel obstruction in an elderly patient. Internal hernias are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Paraduodenal hernias are the most frequent especially left sided, which are believed to be the result of malrotation of the midgut during embryonic period. The clinical presentations varied, ranging from as...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION An internal hernia is a protrusion of bowel through a normal or abnormal orifice in the peritoneum or mesentery. Although they are considered as a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, paraduodenal hernias are the most common type of congenital hernias. METHODS A literature search using PubMed was performed to identify all published cases of left paraduodenal hernia...

Paraduodenal hernia is a rare congenital anomaly that arises from an error of rotation of the midgut. The duodenum and the small intestine become trapped in a sac which is lined by the peritoneum, behind the mesentery of the colon, either to the right or left of the midline. It is therfore a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can cause intestinal obstruction progressing to str...

Purpose: Internal hernias are a result of bowel protrusion through a normal or abnormal intraabdominal mesenteric defect. Paraduodenal hernias comprise the most common form of congenital internal hernia however, due to the rarity of this condition, there is no consensus regarding standard of care for the surgical treatment of these hernias. We report a successful laparoscopic repair of a left s...

a 47 years old lady presented with repeated intermittent, colicky, left upper, and periumblical abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting since two years prior to admission. each episode of the pain spontaneously subsided after bilious vomiting. the patient had no history of surgery, abdominal trauma or intra-abdominal infection, weight loss or previous history for small bowel obstruct...
