RIGHT PARADUODENAL HERNIA: A RARE CAUSE OF SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION

Dr. Sudhir S, Dr. Ganashree M H

Abstract :

Internal abdominal herniation is the protrusion of viscus through normal or abnormal mesenteric or peritoneal aperture. Mesocolic /paraduodenal hernias are unusual congenital hernias in which small intestine herniates behind mesocolon. A 26 year old male presented with the features of acute intestinal obstruction, and was diagnosed to have acute intestinal obstruction possibly due to internal hernia/closed loop obstruction after cect abdomen. Patient underwent laparotomy,intraoperatively bulge was noted in the mesentery of right colon, which was identified to be the small bowel along with malrotation of caecum and ascending colon. Internal hernia is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction with reported incidence of 0.2–0.9%. Thus they are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose and if not treated promptly will result in mortality. Hence it should be considered as one of the cause during diagnostic process.
