Abstract
Internal hernia is one of the rare causes of surgical pathologies in the abdomen.Paraduodenal hernia (PDH) is the most frequent subtype of internal hernia. There are no specific clinical and laboratory findings for diagnosis. This situation may cause delays in diagnosis and adverse clinical outcomes in patients. Computed Tomography (CT) is an imaging method that can help in the diagnosis of internal hernia. A case report of our two patients who were followed up in the clinic, who had been hospitalized with similar complaints in the past and operated for paraduodenal hernia (PDH) has been prepared. Internal herniation is one of the pre-diagnoses that should be kept in mind, especially in the history of unexplained and recurrent hospitalization in patients with abdominal pain and signs of intestinal obstruction. Observation of hernia sac on CT and observing small intestinal loops trapped in it are the only objective findings that can help us in the diagnosis of internal herniation.
