  • Title: Congenital "transhaesio intestini tenuis supragastrica" in a 14-year-old girl - a rare case of internal hernia.
    Author: Bahadori K, Mayr J, Schleef J.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 2003 Feb; 13(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 12664417.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal obstruction caused by internal hernia is a rare condition. A 14-year-old girl who suffered from acute abdominal pain two days after appendectomy is presented. Abdominal sonography and plain abdominal x-ray showed dilated small bowel loops and air-fluid levels indicating mechanical intestinal obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy revealed small intestine loops herniated through the lesser omentum. The anatomical aspects are reviewed and discussed.
