TI  - A Cause of Acute Abdomen that Should not be Neglected: Left Paraduodenal Hernia
AB  - Left paraduodenal hernia (LPH) is a congenital condition whichdevelops as a result of abnormal rotation of the midgut. Generally,small intestines are wedged into the hernial sac leading to symptomsof ileus. In neglected cases, necrosis may be present and these casesmay progress to fatal outcomes. In this article, we present a caseof LPH which was detected on computed tomography in a patientadmitted to the emergency department at our hospital with thecomplaints of abdominal pain who had no history of previous surgery.In laparotomy, jejunal and ileal segments which were inside the hernialsac were removed back to the abdominal cavity. The defect in thepatient without any sign of necrosis was closed primarily.
