| Popis: | Internal hernias commonly present as left duodenal, right duodenal, mesocolic, or retrocolic, intersigmoid hernias, as well as herniation through the foramen of Winslow and lesser sac herniation through an abnormal orifice [1]. Paraduodenal hernias are extremely rare entities, which may prove dangerous because of the high risk of bowel obstruction, strangulation and gangrene. These hernias are notorious because of non-specific signs and symptoms that can lead to diagnostic difficulties. We report the case of a left paraduodenal hernia with peritoneal encapsulation presenting as acute intestinal obstruction in a patient without any history of prior abdominal surgery. The patient underwent bowel reduction, adhesiolysis, resection of the sac, and repair of the defect. The patient’s recovery was uneventful. |
