Left Paraduodenal hernia: A case report
Dr Hridaynath D, Dr P D Nichat
Abstract :
We present the case of a 26 year old man who presented to our emergency department with progressive left sided abdominal pain of 3 days duration. He had a past history laparotomy done 2 years back. CT scan revealed dilated jejunal loops with maximum diameter of 5 cm with definite transition point at jejuno–ileal junction. Ileum and large bowel loops were collapsed. At laparotomy, a left paraduodenal hernia was found, the herniated loops were reduced and the hernial orifice closed. The patient had an uneventful postoperative stay in hospital. With modern imaging modalities, early and correct diagnosis is possible. Due to the risk of obstruction and strangulation, surgical treatment is indicated. Early intervention increases the likelihood of a favourable outcome. Paraduodenal hernias are a rare congenital anomaly which arises from an error of the rotation of the midgut.
