Intramesosigmoid hernias are a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. Here, we present such a case with learning points derived from diagnostic dilemma, shared decision making in consent and the management of a rare cause of a common surgical emergency.

Small bowel volvulus (SBV) is often challenging to diagnose. Research suggests that the clinical presentation of this disease is often very similar to other more common causes of small bowel obstruction (SBO) such as intraabdominal adhesions and no single preoperative diagnostic study is sensitive or specific enough to identify this rare cause of mechanical SBO. This report describes a case of a 19-year-old woman who presented with irretractable vomiting and abdominal pain secondary to SBV. This case is unusual as her history of recurrent adhesive SBO presented a diagnostic dilemma that required a higher degree of clinical suspicion to tease these differential diagnoses apart. She underwent laparoscopy which facilitated successful detorsion and resection of the floppy tongue of jejunum. This report aims to increase the awareness among surgeons.
