Abstract
Paraduodenal hernias are also called mesocolic hernias. Mesocolic hernias are unusual congenital hernias in which small intestine herniates behind mesocolon. They can be discovered incidentally during laparotomy for intestinal obstruction or during radiological investigations. This is a case report of left paraduodenal hernia diagnosed intraoperatively after being operated on in emergency setting for intestinal obstruction. The mouth of the sac was obliterated by suture apposition to the posterior wall. The patient was discharged on day 7 after an uneventful recovery.
