Internal hernias are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Among the internal hernias, left paraduodenal hernia is the most typical type followed by the right paraduodenal hernia. It is impossible to make a clinical diagnosis of internal hernia, as there are no specific symptoms or physical signs. A high degree of suspicion is required, and an accurate diagnosis can be made using cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen like a Computed Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. In this case report, we present our experience in managing a patient who had a right paraduodenal hernia with small bowel strangulation. We present this case report to highlight the importance of considering internal hernias like right paraduodenal hernia in the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
