Internal hernia, a rare condition where organs protrude through abdominal defects, can be challenging to diagnose. This case highlights a young man with a mesocolonic defect presenting as an unusual abdominal mass, diagnosed via CT scan and laparotomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Internal hernia is a rare intra-abdominal condition.
  • Diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific symptoms.
  • Prompt treatment is crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old man presented with chronic epigastric pain and fullness.
  • An impalpable abdominal mass was detected via imaging.
  • Computed tomography revealed a whirlpool pattern and a large mass.

Findings:

  • Internal herniation through a mesocolonic defect was diagnosed.
  • The herniated organ was a segment of jejunum.
  • Partial small intestinal obstruction was present.

Implications:

  • Imaging, particularly CT scans, is vital for diagnosing internal hernias.
  • Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis and guided treatment.
  • Early recognition of internal hernias improves patient prognosis.
