CT diagnosis of sigmoid mesocolon internal hernia
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: We report a surgically proven case of sigmoid mesocolon internal hernia with ileum as contents. This 65 year old female patient presented with complaints of pain radiating to the back. Computed tomography (CT) of the whole abdomen showed bird beak appearance of the dilated small bowel loops with the beak like appearance centered towards the medial side and lying adjacent to the effaced sigmoid colon. This picture on CT is highly suggestive of sigmoid mesocolon internal hernia with ileum as contents which are a rare entity
