title: Small bowel obstruction due to an intramesosigmoid hernia diagnosed by multidetector row computed tomography: a case report.

We herein report a case of small bowel obstruction due to an intramesosigmoid hernia that was diagnosed by a 64-row multidetector computed tomography and surgically treated.
