Internal Hernia through Paraduodenal Recess with Acute Intestinal Obstruction: A Case Report

Abstract: Internal hernia is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. It may account for 0.2 to 0.9 % of cases of intestinal obstruction. Intestinal obstruction due to internal hernia is very dangerous and lethal because it may be silent or may present as severe acute abdominal pain. We describe a case of acute intestinal obstruction which presented in our emergency department.

“…Internal hernias account for less than 1% of all abdominal hernias . They are responsible for 0.2%–0.9% of intestinal obstructions and 1%–4% of intestinal obstructions attributed to hernias . Although a rare entity, paraduodenal hernia (PDH) remains the most common internal hernia in a virgin abdomen.…”

“…Internal hernias can be congenital or acquired and constitute a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. They represent 0.2–0.9% of all small intestinal obstructions and 4.1% of acute intestinal obstruction caused by hernia 2 3. Congenital internal hernias are classified according to their location with more than half of them being reported as paraduodenal hernias, a result of abnormal midgut rotation during embryonic development 1–3.…”

“…Internal hernia results from protrusion of one or more abdominal viscera through an intraparietal opening with the herniated viscera remaining inside the peritoneal cavity. And it account for less than 1% of all abdominal hernias (1) .Paraduodenal hernia (PDH) is the most common rare internal hernia, accounting for about 50% of all internal hernias. About 3 quarters of PDH are left, and the male-tofemale ration is 3:1.…”
