Abstract

Because it is rare, acute small bowel obstruction due to right paraduodenal hernia is an entity with which radiologists are not entirely familiar. Its clinical importance, however, lies in the fat that delayed diagnosis leads to significantly increased morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of small bowel obstruction due to right paraduodenal hernia in which all the known characteristic findings were demonstrated.
