An exceptional case of internal transomental hernia: correlation between CT and surgical findings.

摘要

Internal hemiation is an unusual cause of intestinal obstruction and transomental hernia is very rare, accounting for 1 to 4% of all internal hernias [1]. We report an illustrative case observed in a 79-year-old woman and confirmed surgically. The diagnosis was suggested by the abdominal scan.A 79-year-old woman with no surgical history was admitted for an acute abdominal syndrome, which had developed rapidly over 48 h. The physical examination noted a rigid right hypochondrium with no audible bowel sounds. The hernia orifices were normal.
