  • Title: An unusual cause of small bowel obstruction: herniation through a defect in the falciform ligament.
    Author: Gingalewski C, Lalikos J.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2008 Feb; 43(2):398-400. PubMed ID: 18280299.
    Abstract:
    Small bowel obstruction in children is most frequently seen secondary to postsurgical adhesions. In rare circumstances, obstruction may be the result of an internal hernia through or around the falciform ligament. We report the first case of a strangulated internal hernia around the falciform ligament in a young girl.
