Primary internal hernias are extremely rare in adults. They are an important cause of small intestinal obstruction and lead to high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Clinical presentation of internal hernia is nonspecific. Imaging has been of limited utility in cases of acute intestinal obstruction; moreover, interpretation of imaging features is operator dependant. Thus, internal hernias are usually detected at laparotomy and preoperative diagnosis in an emergency setting is either difficult or most of the time not suspected. We report herein a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with acute intestinal obstruction which was attributed later to a very rare type of internal hernia on exploratory laparotomy. A loop of ileum was found to enter the retroperitoneum through a hernia gate which was located lateral to the sigmoid colon in the left paracolic gutter. The segment of intestine was reduced and the hernial defect was closed. Our finding represents an extremely rare variant of retroperitoneal hernias.

Primary internal hernia is a rare phenomenon, where there is protrusion of an abdominal organ mostly gut through epiploic foramen. Clinical presentation of internal hernia is non specific.Imaging has been of limited utility in cases of acute intestinal obstruction; moreover ,interpretation of imaging features is operator dependant. Thus internal hernias are usually detected at laparotomy and preoperative diagnosis in an emergency setting is either difficult or most of the time not suspected We describe the case of a 14-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain and abdominal distension with no history of trauma .A loop of jejunum was found to enter the lesser sac with multiple peforated jejunal loop 35cm distal to dj junction. .The segment of perforated bowel loop of length 10cm was resected and jejuno-jejunostomy was done.This is a rare type internal hernia into lesser sac.

Internal Hernias

Primary internal hernias are very rare in adults. They are an unusual cause of small intestinal obstruction and lead to high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Clinical presentation of internal hernia is highly nonspecific. Imaging has limited role in diagnosing the cause of acute intestinal obstruction. Internal hernias are usually detected at laparotomy. We report a case of a 61-year-old male who presented with acute intestinal obstruction which was attributed later to a very rare type of internal hernia on exploratory laparotomy. A loop of ileum was found to enter the retroperitoneum through a hernia gate which was located lateral to the caecum and ileo ileal intussusception was noted proximal to the herniated loop. The segment of intestine was resected and anastamosed then hernial defect was closed. Paracaecal hernias are the rare type of hernias in internal hernia. In our case, intussusception was noted proximal to the herniated ileal loop which is a very rare presentation. Intussusception was reported previously with paraduodenal type. One should always keep in mind while conducting emergency laparotomy, internal hernias can be a cause for intestinal obstruction.

Internal Hernias

CONTEXT: Internal hernias account for only 0.2 to 0.9% of the cases of intestinal obstruction. They do not have specific clinical manifestations, and are usually diagnosed during laparotomy for acute intestinal obstruction. Internal hernias through the lesser omentum are extremely rare. CASE REPORT: We report here the case of a 36-year-old patient who underwent exploratory laparotomy for acute intestinal obstruction. An internal hernia through the lesser omentum was found, with a strangulated ileal segment passing through the perforation into an abscess within the lesser sac. The surgical procedures included ileal resection, primary anastomosis, abscess removal, and placement of a drain in the lesser sac. The patient was reoperated 6 days later for abdominal sepsis; a lesser sac abscess was removed and the abdominal incision was left open. The patient stayed in the Intensive Care Unit for 15 days, and eventually left the hospital on the 28th post-admission day, with complete recovery thereafter. CONCLUSION: The early diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction and immediate indication for laparotomy is the main task of the surgeon when faced with a case of acute abdomen with a hypothesis of internal hernia, so as to minimize severe postoperative complications, as illustrated by the present case.

An adult domestic shorthair (DSH) cat was presented with acute vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, and dyspnea. The cat’s clinical status worsened over 24 hours with conservative medical management. An exploratory celiotomy was performed. Acute intestinal obstruction resulting from infection with Taenia (T.) taeniaeformis was diagnosed. Surgical removal of the cestodes via multiple enterotomies resolved the obstruction. This paper reports, for the first time, small intestinal obstruction caused by T. taeniaeformis infection in a cat.

Internal hernia is a relatively uncommon condition and is a rare type of intestinal obstruction. Paraduodenal hernia is considered the most common type of internal hernias. The rare prevalence and the variable symptoms make the clinical diagnosis of paraduodenal hernia a diagnostic challenge. We present the case of acute intestinal obstruction by left para-duodenal internal hernia treatedat the general surgery department of the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech, Morocco inorder to contribute to the knowledge of the clinical particularities of this entity.

Rare Type

: An obturator hernia is a rare type of abdominal hernia that can cause acute intestinal obstruction. Meckel’s diverticulum, the most common gastrointestinal tract malformation, is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. The combination of obturator hernia and Meckel’s diverticulum is extremely rare. We report a rare case of obturator hernia with Meckel’s diverticulum in a 76-year-old woman who presented at the emergency room with complaints of abdominal pain. The diagnosis was confirmed by a computed tomography (CT) scan and exploratory laparotomy. Since obturator hernia is uncommon and rarely associated with Meckel’s diverticulum, we described the imaging features in this case study.

Internal hernias are an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction with an incidence of 0.2-0.9%, therefore their early diagnosis represents a challenge. The most frequently herniated organ is the small bowel, which results in a wide spectrum of symptoms, varying from mild abdominal pain to acute abdomen. We present the case of an eight-year old patient with nonspecific digestive symptoms, a transoperative diagnosis was made in which an internal hernia was found strangulated by plastron in the distal third of the appendix. Appendectomy was performed and four days later the patient was discharged without complications.
