Abstract :

Internal hernia is an uncommon cause of small bowel 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 .Internal hernias are defined as protrusion of a viscus through a normal or abnormal peritoneal or mesenteric aperture and remain within the confines of the peritoneal cavity. We report a 65 year old lady presenting with features of Intestinal obstruction and the pathology leading to obstruction was a small trans–mesenteric rent causing herniation and obstruction of the bowel. We report this case to highlight one of the rare causes of Intestinal Obstruction
