  • Title: Left paraduodenal hernia: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Falk GA, Yurcisin BJ, Sell HS.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2010 Nov 23; 2010():. PubMed ID: 22797200.
    Abstract:
    Paraduodenal hernias are congenital internal hernias that usually present with non-specific symptoms, and are therefore rarely diagnosed preoperatively. Left-sided paraduodenal hernias are three times more likely to occur than right-sided ones. Both hernias present similarly, but have a differing embryological basis. Here, the case of a 76-year-old woman with a left paraduodenal hernia presenting with small bowel obstruction is presented, and a brief discussion of the literature on its diagnosis and management given.
