Abstract
Internal hernia may either be congenital or acquired. Acquired internal hernias are usually complications of previous abdominal surgery. Congenital internal hernia is a rare entity and it being a cause of small bowel obstruction is still rare. We report a case of congenital internal hernia presenting as acute intestinal obstruction and its surgical management.Entities:
