Clinical examination confirmed localised peritonism in the right iliac fossa. A tentative diagnosis of acute appendicitis was considered but in view of age a CT scan was performed. An area of abnormality in the right iliac fossa region was noted. At laparoscopy a macroscopically normal appendix and caecum was found. A smooth non-indentable mass in the lateral right iliac fossa contained loops of distal ileum, passing through a retro-caecal mesenteric defect consistent with a paraceacal hernia, with entrapment of the right ovary and fallopian tube. A right salpingectomy as performed and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed infarction of the fallopian tube.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Internal abdominal hernias are reported to have a post mortem incidence ranging between 0.2 and 0.9% of which only 10\u201315% are accounted for by pericaecal hernias. Types of pericaecal hernias include: ileocolic, retrocaecal, ileocaecal and paracaecal. These hernias are predisposed by the embryological development of the caecum retracting to the posterior abdominal wall and forming potential fossae.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
