    Abstract:
    After a review of the Literature, the Authors report a case of intestinal obstruction caused by trans-omentum hernia. This unusual disease is due to a defect of the greater omentum with herniation and secondary strangulation of small bowel. The clinical presentation was that of an intestinal obstruction with rare possibility of preoperative diagnosis. Therefore, a correct knowledge of this pathology and immediate surgery are necessary for the prognosis.
