• TITLE: Intestinal Obstruction Due to an Internal Hernia through a Defect of the Broad Ligament in an Adult Female Patient: Case Report and Literature Review

  AUTHORS: Samuel A. Essoun, Samuel Debrah

  KEYWORDS: Internal Hernia, Broad Ligament Defect, Intestinal Obstruction

  ABSTRACT: Internal hernia is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. We present a case of 43-year-old woman without any prior surgical history who was referred as a case of obstructed para-umbilical hernia from a satellite clinic. The objective is to highlight the occurrence of such a rare clinical problem and to provide an insight into decision making especially when there is discordance between an obvious pathology and clinical features.
