Popis: Objective We prospectively evaluate multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) criteria of internal hernia, and related complication as intestinal strangulation. Methods 27 patients presented to emergency department with acute small bowel obstruction (ASBO) and diagnosed with MDCT as IH were included. Validity of different MDCT criteria in diagnosing IH was compared with surgical diagnosis. Results Surgical diagnosis was 22 patients with IH (14 paraduodenal and 8 transmesenteric hernia) and 5 false positive cases. There was excellent agreement between MDCT and surgery in diagnosing paraduodenal hernia (k = 1), and good agreement in diagnosing transmesenteric hernia (k = 0.624). Significant MDCT criteria include the following: cluster of small-bowel (p
