title: Case report: CT diagnosis of nonobstructive left paraduodenal hernia.
abstract: The preoperative diagnosis of paraduodenal hernias (PH) can only be made radiologically. PH are seldom diagnosed preoperatively unless they cause bowel obstruction. We report an unusual case of a nonobstructive left PH diagnosed preoperatively by computed tomography (CT). The CT findings of internal hernias are discussed.
