“…The deviation of the round ligament of the liver was an important indirect sign by the herniated small bowel penetrating the falciform ligament. Several authors have reported the usefulness of round ligament evaluation in the preoperative diagnosis of the falciform ligament hernia [ 2 , 4 ], but we are not aware of any reports in which deviation of the round ligament on CT is decisive in diagnosing the falciform ligament hernia.…”

“…However, the falciform ligament hernia is difficult to diagnose from clinical findings and symptoms like other internal hernias. Computed tomography (CT) has been useful for demonstrating the falciform ligament hernia [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] . Here, we report a case of a falciform ligament hernia that we preoperatively diagnose by considering the round ligament of the liver on CT.…”

Internal hernias are rare, and a delayed diagnosis can lead to dangerous complications. A 75-year-old male with no previous surgical history presented with right upper abdominal pain and vomiting. On examination, he had guarding in the right hypochondrium with a positive Murphy's sign. However, ultrasonography of the gall bladder was normal with dilated bowel loops. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) revealed a falciform hernia with evidence of obstruction. Segmental resection of the gangrenous ileum was done with a double-barrel stoma. Later on, stoma reversal was also done with no complications.

“…In a previous case study on a strangulated falciform hernia, the reported symptoms were colicky abdominal pain, bilious vomiting and abdominal distension [11]. One reported clinical sign which has been attributed to falciform hernias is the relief of pain with the knee-chest position from the supine position [15].…”

Introduction: Internal hernias are a possible complication following gastric bypass surgery. Falciform ligament hernias are a rare form of internal hernias which can be life threatening. Case Presentation: The case study describes a 59-year-old lady who presented with abdominal pain and bilous vomiting. She was found to have a falciform hernia following Roux-en-Y gastric by pass (RYGB). She underwent an emergency laparoscopy and division of the falciform ligament to release the bowel. She recovered and was discharged after 2 days. Conclusion: Given this occurrence, it is worth considering dividing the falciform ligament if any created defects or congenital defects are visualised during routine bariatric surgery. This will reduce the risk of falciform ligament herniation.
