Sumario:Paraduodenal hernia is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain; however, it is the commonest of internal herniation. Computer tomography of the abdomen is diagnostic. Although it is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, it is estimated that more than half of paraduodenal hernias develop symptoms. We present a case of left paraduodenal hernia that presented with acute abdominal pain and a left upper abdominal mass. Symptoms resolved spontaneously and a planned Laparoscopic repair was performed. The malpositioned small intestine was reduced from the hernia sac and the hernial orifice was closed. The patient made a rapid recovery with no recurrence of symptoms at 3-year follow-up.
