VASQUEZ-MAYA, Camilo; DONADO-JIMENEZ, María José e ZAPATA-URIBE, Pedro. Congenital Paraduodenal Hernia: A Case Report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.1, pp.89-93. Epub 07-Jun-2023. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.895.
Paraduodenal hernia is a rare congenital anomaly that arises from an alteration in the midgut rotation during embryogenesis. Consequently, the small intestine becomes trapped in a sac of the posterior mesentery of the colon. This entity can compromise the intestinal segment’s viability and the patient’s life. Its diagnosis is difficult, rarely suspected, and often confused with other causes of abdominal pain. We present the case of a 29-year-old male patient with a documented paraduodenal hernia during surgery, its correction, and follow-up, in which no complications were reported.
