1/7. Jejunal obstruction and perforation resulting from herniation through broad ligament.Internal herniation of small bowel through broad ligament causing obstruction is rare. A case of jejunal herniation through broad ligament defect with resultant obstruction and perforation is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/7. An unusual case of herniation of small bowel through an iatrogenic defect of the falciform ligament.Internal herniation through a congenital defect in the falciform ligament is extremely rare. We report an unusual observation of small bowel obstruction through an iatrogenic defect of the falciform ligament. Prompt diagnosis was made by helical CT, permitting a rapid surgical procedure to preserve the viability of the obstructed segment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/7. Double omental hernia--case report on a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction.INTRODUCTION: We report a case of transomental herniation of the ileum through a defect in the gastrocolic ligament with re-emergence through a defect in the gastrohepatic ligament. This type of herniation is extremely rare and a review of the literature is presented. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 41-year-old Chinese male presented with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. TREATMENT: An urgent laparotomy was undertaken and he was found to have a rare form of intra-abdominal hernia. The hernia was reduced and the defects were closed. OUTCOME: Postoperative recovery was unremarkable. CONCLUSION: Urgent operation should not be delayed because of the high mortality associated with strangulation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/7. A rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the adult: Morgagni's hernia.Morgagni's hernia is a rare congenital diaphragmatic herniation and is usually diagnosed in childhood. It is quite rare in adults, and intestinal obstruction as a complication due to intrathoracic intestinal herniation rarely occurs. We present the plain radiography and computed tomography findings of an adult patient with acute abdomen symptoms due to Morgagni's hernia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/7. Transient left paraduodenal hernia.A 52-year-old woman with acute deterioration of recurrent abdominal pain was admitted to the hospital. Spiral computed tomography (CT) of abdomen was performed. A left paraduodenal hernia was identified on CT. There was no clinical sign or imaging finding suggesting intestinal obstruction or mesenteric ischemia. She refused surgical intervention since her pain was intermittant and decreasing. On the fifth day of hospitalization the patient's pain resolved completely and the follow-up CT demonstrated regression of the herniation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/7. Paraduodenal hernia evoking intermittent abdominal pain.PURPOSE: Description of a very rare case of internal abdominal hernia, namely herniation of the proximal jejunum in the Landzert fossa, through a hole in the mesocolon transversum. MATERIAL AND methods: Based on preoperative history, clinical state and radiological findings, the diagnosis of internal hernia was strongly suspected. RESULTS: Suspected diagnosis was confirmed during laparotomy. After reduction of the jejunum and closure of the hernia orifice, the patient recovered promptly. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of internal herniation should always be considered in every patient who presents with an acute abdomen, signs of (sub)obstruction and non-typical history. The most important diagnostic tool is computer tomography, that is accurate in 77%.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/7. The excluded small-bowel segment. A source of complications after small-bowel bypass.Two cases of obstruction of the bypassed small intestine after jejunoileal shunt for obesity are presented. These cases illustrate the possible failure of radiologic visualization of the obstructed bowel since no gas traverses this bowel, as well as two of the possible causes-internal herniation and volvulus. A third cause, intussusception of the blind loop into the colon, has been reported. Obstruction of the bypassed bowel demands surgical intervention and could lead to perforation and peritonitis if untreated. Its prevention involves the closure of all mesenteric defects at the original operation. Surgeons should be aware of the possibility of these conditions in any patient who has had a small-bowel bypass operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = herniation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
