Among adults its usual causes are congenital anomalies of intestinal rotation, postsurgical iatrogenic, trauma or infection diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PRESENTATION OF CASE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with history of chronic constipation. The patient was hospitalized for two days with acute abdominal pain, abdominal distension and inability to eliminate flatus. The X-ray and abdominal computerized tomography scan (CT scan) showed signs of intestinal obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy performed revealed a trans-mesenteric hernia containing part of the transverse colon. The intestine was viable and resection was not necessary. Only the hernia was repaired.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Internal trans-mesenteric hernia constitutes a rare type of internal abdominal hernia, corresponding from 0.2 to 0.9% of bowel obstructions. This type carries a high risk of strangulation and even small hernias can be fatal. This complication is specially related to trans-mesenteric hernias as it tends to volvulize.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Unfortunately, the clinical diagnosis is rather difficult.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trans-mesenteric internal abdominal hernia may be asymptomatic for many years because of its nonspecific symptoms. The role of imaging test is relevant but still does not avoid the necessity of exploratory surgery when clinical features are uncertain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.01.013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,23]],"date-time":"2014-04-23T23:19:22Z","timestamp":1398295162000},"page":"396-398","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Internal abdominal hernia"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Brenda","family":"Crisp\u00edn-Trebejo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Cristina","family":"Robles-Cuadros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edwin","family":"Orendo-Vel\u00e1squez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felipe P.","family":"Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-14-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.218.1.r01ja5368","article-title":"Internal hernia: clinical and imaging findings in 17 patients with emphasis on CT criteria","volume":"218","author":"Blachar","year":"2001","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"R2-14-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1007\/s00595-011-0035-2","article-title":"Adult transmesenteric hernia: report of two cases","volume":"42","author":"Hashimoto","year":"2012","journal-title":"Surg Today"},{"key":"R3-14-20260114","first-page":"179","article-title":"Internal hernia of the abdomen.
