Abstract:
Para-duodenal hernias are the most frequent type of congenital internal hernia. It is observed that left para-duodenal hernia is about three times more common than right counterpart.
This case serves as an example of how bowel obstruction brought on by a paraduodenal hernia typically manifests as severe abdominal pain that worsens quickly. Considering that it is a closed loop obstruction, early bowel damage results, which explains why this illness has a high death rate. The presentation is dramatic and frequently includes peritonitis and hypovolemic shock.
It is concluded that while managing a case of acute abdomen, internal hernias must always be kept in mind.
