Abstract

Internal hernias are rare occurrence. Left paraduodenal hernias are the most common type of internal hernia. We report a case of 40-year-old man who presented with symptoms of subacute intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography demonstrated clustered small bowel loops encased within a sac like structure in the left abdominal cavity which is the typical appearance of left paraduodenal hernia. The patient was treated by surgery. We emphasize the importance of a clear anatomic understanding in the preoperative radiological diagnosis and necessary surgical steps involved in treatment of this entity.
