A pericecal hernia is a type of internal hernia, which rarely causes small bowel obstruction (SBO). At our institution, a 92-year-old man presented with vomiting and abdominal pain. He was conservatively treated with a diagnosis of SBO. After 2 weeks of copious drainage output, he was taken to the operating room. Laparoscopy revealed a pericecal hernia that was successfully reduced. We conclude...

Intra-abdominal Hernias are rare conditions usually secondary to congenital defects, with pericecal hernias accounting for a minority of them. They can be difficult to diagnose due to non-specific presentations but may lead to strangulation and thus require early management. We herein report a rare case of pericecal hernia with gangrenous appendicitis in an 88 year-old lady presenting with feat...

BACKGROUND Internal hernias include paraduodenal, pericecal, through foramen of Winslow, intersigmoid and retroanastomotic hernias. These hernias could be either congenital or acquired after abdominal surgery. They account for approximately 0.5-5 % of all cases of intestinal obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old female was admitted to casualty with a history of abdominal distension and...

INTRODUCTION Retrocecal hernia is a rare type of pericecal hernia. Because it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively, it is often treated with emergency operation. CASE PRESENTATION An 83-year-old male patient experienced sudden abdominal pain. Marked small bowel dilatation and intestinal obstruction were detected by abdominal computed tomography (CT). An enhanced CT scan also revealed a tra...

The appendix is found in the hernial sac in around 1% of inguinal hernias and an inflamed appendix is found in only 0.13% of cases. A variant of this, an appendix inside a femoral hernia, is called a Garengeot hernia 4. In 1937, Ryan described 11 cases of acute appendicitis (within an inguinal hernia) among 8,692 cases of appendicitis 12. Another author 1 reported 10 cases of appendicitis withi...
