Key Points

Left paraduodenal hernias are a rare but significant cause of small bowel obstruction, often overlooked.
Paraduodenal hernias account for 53% of internal hernia cases, indicating their relevance in clinical practice.
These hernias occur through Landzert's fossa, complicating diagnosis due to nonspecific symptom presentation.
Literature review emphasizes the necessity for awareness and better diagnostic approaches for rare hernia types.

Implication

Case report details a rare left paraduodenal hernia causing intestinal obstruction, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

Abstract

Internal hernias represent a rare but clinically significant cause of intestinal obstruction, with paraduodenal hernias (PDHs) accounting for 53% of cases. Left PDHs, occurring through Landzert's fossa, present diagnostic challenges due to their nonspecific symptoms and rare incidence.
