Para-Duodenal Hernia Unusual Presentation of Abdominal Obstruction: A Case Report

Abstract

A para-duodenal hernia is a type of internal hernia, an atypical congenital anomaly. It presents as abdominal obstruction with adverse manifestations such as strangulation and infraction. Its symptoms can be ambiguous and variable, making them challenging to detect and diagnose. However, prompt intervention is required to avoid further complications. Here, we present the course and management of a 31-year-old male who contributed to our emergency department with symptoms of intestinal obstruction with an unusual C.T. scan and intra-operative findings.
