The simultaneous occurrence of paraduodenal and paracecal herniae presenting with volvulus of the intervening bowel.
A very rare coincidence of paraduodenal and paracecal hernia with volvulus of the intervening small intestine is reported. The unusual anatomical set up predising to volvulus of a large loop of small bowel has been described. Restoration of normal anatomy was made possible by the application of principles of treatment of internal herniae.
