Abstract

Small bowel obstruction caused by an internal hernia involving the sigmoid mesocolon is rare, and this condition is difficult to diagnose clinically. We herein report a case of small bowel obstruction due to an intramesosigmoid hernia that was diagnosed by a 64-row multidetector computed tomography and surgically treated.
