ABSTRACT
Paraduodenal hernias are the most common forms of intraabdominal hernias, accounting for 53% of all internal hernias. However, these account for only 0.2% to 0.9% of all small intestinal obstructions overall. Patients usually report vague abdominal pains and discomfort lasting for many years. Furthermore, in-patient diagnosis and management can last up to several weeks due to its rarity and unusual presentation. We report a case of a left paraduodenal hernia in an 18-year-old male who presented with abrupt onset of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. He was subsequently managed by diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic repair, which decreased the overall in-patient care to 2 days.
