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