Abstract

Supravesicular hernia is unusual and little reported in the literature. The diagnosis is not simple. Unrecognized or untreated, supravesicular hernia can lead to occlusive complication, which implies urgent surgical treatment, with the risk of having to resort to a stoma. We report a rare case of an internal supravesical hernia revealed by an acute small bowel obstruction. An emergency operation was performed. The bowel was edematous but still viable. The supravesical hernia’s ring was repaired, and the patient made a good recovery.
