It is therfore a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can cause intestinal obstruction progressing to str...

An internal hernia may be either congenital or acquired. The reported incidence of such hernias is 1-2%. In rare cases, internal hernias are the cause of small bowel obstruction, with a reported incidence of 0.2-0.9%. Transmesocolic hernia of the ascending colon is especially rare. We report a case of transmesocolic hernia of the ascending colon with intestinal obstruction diagnosed preoperativ...
