Paracolic Gutter Hernia

Epidemiology it accounts for only 6 13 of internal abdominal hernias.

Paracolic gutter hernia.

Protrusion of the gut through the peritoneum mesentery or omentum into a compartment in the abdominal cavity the hernia orifice is usually a preexisting foramen recess and fossa but can be caused by surgery ischemia and trauma. Transomental hernia approximately 1 to 4 of internal hernias occur through defects in the greater omentum. Paracecal hernias also known as pericecal hernias are an exceptionally rare type of internal hernia. Clinical presentation clinical symptoms are often characterized by episodes of intense lower abdominal pain like a co.

The right and left paracolic gutters are peritoneal recesses on the posterior abdominal wall lying alongside the ascending and descending colon. The left medial paracolic gutter. Internal hernias are an infrequent cause of small bowel obstruction 1. The segment of intestine was reduced and the hernial defect was closed.

Pericaecal hernia is a rare type of internal hernia. Our finding represents an extremely rare variant of retroperitoneal hernias. Superior ileocecal recess inferior ileocecal recess retrocecal recess and paracolic sulcus. A pericecal hernia is a typical form of internal hernia and can be divided into 4 types.

We describe this case including its imaging features. The main paracolic gutter lies lateral to the colon on each side. A less obvious medial paracolic gutter may be formed especially on the right side if the colon. Paracecal hernia due to membranous adhesion of the omentum to the right paracolic gutter abstract.

Paracecal hernia due to membranous adhesion of the omentum to the right paracolic gutter. Paracecal hernias have a type of membranous adhesion of the omentum to the right paracolic gutter. A defect in this structure may allow small bowel herniation into the left paracolic gutter causing medial displacement of the descending colon.
