BACKGROUNDA 25-year-old female with 34 weeks' gestation and intestinal obstruction was diagnosed to have paraduodenal hernia during laparotomy. Paraduodenal hernia is a congenital anomaly where the small intestine is trapped in the internal hernial sac. Only if high suspicion is kept in mind, this rare entity may be diagnosed preoperatively. All modern imaging modalities including USG, CT scan and MRI suggest only intestinal obstruction along with gravid uterus.
