Abdominal hernias are mainly divided into two categories namely external and internal hernias. Left paraduodenal hernia is the most prevalent type of internal hernia. This results from a failure of fusion of descending mesocolon with parietal peritoneum.

Surgical notes:

Herniation of jejunal bowel loops into the left paraduodenal fossa was identified. No evidence of bowel ischemia. Reduction of jejunal bowel loops and closure of hernial defect was done.
