 Internal hernia may be either congenital or acquired. Its incidence has been reported to be 1–2%. Herniation may be persistent or intermittent [10]. Internal hernia is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction with a reported incidence of 0.2–0.9% [10]. The most common type is Para duodenal. Less common types include mesocolic hernia, which occurs following abdominal surgery. We report mesocolic hernias in a young boy, who presented as small bowel obstruction without any prior abdominal surgery.
