Abstract:
Internal hernia may be either
congenital or acquired. Its incidence has
been reported to be 1-2%. Internal hernia is
a rare cause of small bowel obstruction with
a reported incidence of 0.2-0.9%. The most
common type is paraduodenal. Less
common types include mesocolic hernia,
which occurs following abdominal surgery.
We report a case of a mesocolic hernia with
bowel gangrene in a 12 years old young
female patient, who presented with small
bowel obstruction without any prior
abdominal surgery.
