“…Acute abdomen is seen with ischemia and late cases of perforation [7]. Symptom severity relates to duration and reducibility of the hernia and the presence or absence of incarceration and strangulation [8]. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction in CIAH in adults are similar to symptoms due to other causes of SBO with acute onset of abdominal pain, tenderness, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal bowel sounds.…”

Primary internal hernias are extremely rare in adults. They are an important cause of small intestinal obstruction and lead to high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Clinical presentation of internal hernia is nonspecific. Imaging has been of limited utility in cases of acute intestinal obstruction; moreover, interpretation of imaging features is operator dependant. Thus, internal hernias are usually detected at laparotomy and preoperative diagnosis in an emergency setting is either difficult or most of the time not suspected. We report herein a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with acute intestinal obstruction which was attributed later to a very rare type of internal hernia on exploratory laparotomy. A loop of ileum was found to enter the retroperitoneum through a hernia gate which was located lateral to the sigmoid colon in the left paracolic gutter. The segment of intestine was reduced and the hernial defect was closed. Our finding represents an extremely rare variant of retroperitoneal hernias.

Congenital Trans mesenteric Hernia (CTMH) is a rare entity of internal hernia that occur as a congenital defect in children due to an error in the rotation of the midget, presenting usually with an abdominal pain, fever and bilious vomiting. However, if left untreated, disastrous outcomes such as acute bowel obstruction and strangulation can take place. Its diagnosis is sometimes challenging to physicians and requires exploratory laparotomy to confirm the presence of a hernia defect. CT scan prior to surgery is seldom needed and may not have a benefit to guide for the exact diagnosis. For treatment, surgical repair, either open or laparoscopic, is the procedure of choice to manage such a condition. We report a case of CTMH in a 3.5-year-old female patient who presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and inconsolable crying. www.opastonline.com J Clin Rev Case Rep, 2019 Volume 4 | Issue 1 | 2 of 2 Copyright: ©2019 Rateb Shahoud.

Primary internal hernia is a rare phenomenon, where there is protrusion of an abdominal organ mostly gut through epiploic foramen. Clinical presentation of internal hernia is non specific.Imaging has been of limited utility in cases of acute intestinal obstruction; moreover ,interpretation of imaging features is operator dependant. Thus internal hernias are usually detected at laparotomy and preoperative diagnosis in an emergency setting is either difficult or most of the time not suspected We describe the case of a 14-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain and abdominal distension with no history of trauma .A loop of jejunum was found to enter the lesser sac with multiple peforated jejunal loop 35cm distal to dj junction. .The segment of perforated bowel loop of length 10cm was resected and jejuno-jejunostomy was done.This is a rare type internal hernia into lesser sac.
