Abstract
We report the case of a 20-year old patient with a personal history of fall over his motorcycle handlebar occurring 28 days earlier. He was admitted in emergency surgery with abdominal pain. Clinical examination showed a circular impact area at the level of the left hypochondrium associated with painful swelling, irreducible and with no impulse on coughing The diagnosis of traumatic parietal strangulated hernia was established. The patient underwent surgical treatment using midline laparotomy revealing parietal breach associated with incarceration of a portion of the omentum which was necrotic. The necrotic omentum was resected and the breach was sutured. The postoperative course was simple and the patient was discharged on d5.Entities:
