Highlights Splenosis is an autotransplantation of splenic tissues throughout the body post splenic rupture or splenectomy. Symptomatic when hematological diseases have recurred. Abdominal splenosis may rarely be associated with abdominal pain and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Further evaluation and treatment is mandatory when bowel obstruction is present. Treatment consists of resection of problematic splenic nodules.

HighlightsCongenital internal hernias are an infrequent condition resulting from the protrusion of abdominal organ through an intra-peritoneal defect.Left paraduodenal hernia is the most common types of congenital internal hernias.Landzert fossa is bounded by the fourth part of the duodenum from the right, the posterior peritoneum posteriorly, the inferior mesenteric vein, and left branches of the middle colic artery anteriorly.Laparotomy is mandated in cases of intestinal perforations, necrosis and hemodynamic instability.

AbstractDespite its first identification in 1885, intraluminal duodenal diverticulum remains a rare entity and only a few case reports are found in the literature. Its diagnosis is almost always delayed due to the lack of specific symptoms and to the very vague presentation consisting of mild epigastric discomfort. However, with the aid of new diagnostic modalities and imaging, it has become easier to diagnose this entity when its symptoms persist. Finally, it can remain undiagnosed in asymptomatic patients.
