Paraduodenal hernia with situs inversus abdominalis: A case report
Intestinal malrotation is known to be the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in patients with intestinal anomalies. However, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion of intestinal herniation and adhesions as the cause of intestinal obstruction in such cases. Further imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scan and diagnostic laparoscopy may be beneficial provided patients have no overt signs of acute bowel ischaemia.
