title: Transmesosigmoid hernia during pregnancy.
abstract: We have presented a case of internal herniation of small bowel through the sigmoid mesocolon in a pregnant woman. In patients with symptoms suggestive of bowel obstruction, even without a history of previous abdominal surgery, internal hernia must be included in the differential diagnosis.
