Background:

Recurrent abdominal pain can be a challenging clinical presentation.
Paraduodenal hernias are rare congenital abnormalities of the mesentery.
Accurate diagnosis of internal hernias is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

A 52-year-old woman presented with acute exacerbation of chronic abdominal pain.
Spiral computed tomography (CT) revealed a left paraduodenal hernia.
No signs of intestinal obstruction or ischemia were present on initial imaging.

Findings:

The patient's abdominal pain resolved spontaneously during hospitalization.
Follow-up CT demonstrated complete regression of the left paraduodenal hernia.

Conservative management led to a favorable outcome in this case.

Implications:

This case highlights the possibility of spontaneous resolution of paraduodenal hernias.
Non-operative management may be a viable option for select patients with paraduodenal hernias.
CT imaging is essential for diagnosing and monitoring paraduodenal hernias.
