Paraduodenal hernia is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain; however, it is the commonest of internal herniation. Computer tomography of the abdomen is diagnostic. Although it is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, it is estimated that more than half of paraduodenal hernias develop symptoms. We present a case of left paraduodenal hernia that presented with acute abdominal pain and a le...

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...

Introduction: Internal hernia is a relatively uncommon condition and rare type of intestinal obstruction. Paraduodenal considered the most common internal hernias. The prevalence variable symptoms make clinical diagnosis paraduodenal diagnostic challenge. They represent 1% syndromes that can cause

Internal hernia is a relatively uncommon condition and rare type of intestinal obstruction. Paraduodenal considered the most common internal hernias. The prevalence variable symptoms make clinical diagnosis paraduodenal diagnostic challenge. We present case acute obstruction by left para-duodenal treatedat general surgery department Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech, Morocco i...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Encasing of small bowel in an anomalous accessory membrane results in peritoneal encapsulation and is a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction. It is believed to be caused by malrotation of the bowel during the 12th week of gestation and this causes the formation of an accessory sac from the peritoneum, covering the umbilicus. Left paraduodenal hernia is the most commo...

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...

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...

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 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.
