A LEFT PARADUODENAL HERNIA WITH PERITONEAL ENCAPSULATION PRESENTING AS ACUTE INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION - A CASE REPORT

KESAVAN G

Abstract


Paraduodenal hernias are a type of internal hernia whereby an abdominal organ passes through a defect into another compartment within the abdominal cavity. These hernias are congenital and arise from anomalous rotation and fusion of mesentery and parietal peritoneum during  embryogenesis. Paraduodenal hernias may not cause    symptoms and may be discovered incidentally and sometimes associated with bowel obstruction. A case of left     paraduodenal hernia diagnosed at emergency laparotomy in a patient presenting with features of acute intestinal             obstruction is presented along with a review of literature.
