Abstract:
The case report describes an extreme premature (31 weeks of gestation) who presented with clinical and radiologic manifestations of an intestinal occlusive at one month of age. The patient was intervened surgically and during the procedure, was demonstrated the presence of a Richter's hernia as a causative agent of the intestinal obstruction as well as intestinal gangrene and ipsilateral necrosis testicle. A resection of the affected bowel loop was performed, besides the extirpation of the necrotic right testicle. Richter's hernia is an unusual cause of intestinal obstructions in children therefore we decided to report the case.
