Abstract:
Through the demonstration of 3 cases (6-year-old-girl with right mesenterico-parietal hernia; 2 year-old-boy with a transverso-mesocolic hernia; 10-months-old-boy with a hernia in the mesenterium of a M.D.) we discuss the problems of intraabdominal hernia. The evaluation of the disease can take many forms. Only one third of the children remains without symptoms; the other third has a chronic evaluation and the last third an acute abdomen. Once diagnosed internal hernia must soon be operated.
