title: [A left paraduodenal hernia--a case report].
abstract: The left paraduodenal hernia obtains when the small intestine goes through the left paraduodenal fosset. It (the hernia) develops on the left, at the back of the descending mesocolon. The present authors study one case looking at its pathogeny and the clinical and therapeutic problems posed by such a variety of congenital internal hernia. The authors emphasize, in particular, its morbid associations with the volvulus of the pelvic colon. Finally they highlight the importance of a through and careful exploration of the abdominal cavity during any laparatomy following an occlusive syndrome.
