Zusammenfassung: | Left paraduodenal hernia (LPH) is a congenital condition which
develops as a result of abnormal rotation of the midgut. Generally,
small intestines are wedged into the hernial sac leading to symptoms
of ileus. In neglected cases, necrosis may be present and these cases
may progress to fatal outcomes. In this article, we present a case
of LPH which was detected on computed tomography in a patient
admitted to the emergency department at our hospital with the
complaints of abdominal pain who had no history of previous surgery.
In laparotomy, jejunal and ileal segments which were inside the hernial
sac were removed back to the abdominal cavity. The defect in the
patient without any sign of necrosis was closed primarily. |
