title: Small bowel obstruction due to broad ligament hernia: computed tomography findings.
abstract: We report a case of surgically confirmed small bowel obstruction due to hernia through a defect in the broad ligament. Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) demonstrated the presence and the precise location of this very unusual internal pelvic hernia. Those CT findings are presented here.
