Internal Supra-Vesical hernia: A very rare cause of small bowel obstruction and review of literature

Abstract

Internal Supravesical hernia is an unusual type of hernia. Small bowel obstruction due to the Supravesical hernia is very rarely seen. Clinical diagnosis of this hernia is almost never suspected before surgery; hence familiarity with this condition as well as the anatomy of the Supravesical fossa may allow preoperative diagnosis by CT in a few instances.
