Case report: CT diagnosis of nonobstructive left paraduodenal hernia.
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.
