Abstract
Para-duodenal hernia, a rare congenital anomaly, also known as mesacolic hernia. Para-duodenal hernia is a type of internal hernia. Internal hernias account for only 1% of all hernias, and para-duodenal hernias make up 50% of those. Since the presentation is vague, the diagnosis is a major challenge. The presentation may include chronic recurrent abdominal pain, lump in abdomen, features of partial or complete small bowel obstruction. Clinical suspicion helps in early diagnosis. CT remains the modality of choice for diagnosis. Clinical suspicion along with radiological confirmation accounts for early diagnosis followed by early exploration prevents dreadful complication and reduces mortality related with PDH.
Keywords: Left Para-duodenal Hernia.
