Difficult diagnosis of a double omental hernia that led to extensive small bowel infarction
Hernia, 11/09/09

Min JS et al. – The authors found a strangulated small bowel that protruded through the lesser omental sac within the defects of the gastrocolic or gastrohepatic ligaments. After performing manual reduction, the restoring viability of herniated small bowel failed; consequently, extensive small bowel resection was mandatory. Herein the authors reported a case of extensive small bowel hemorrhagic infarction due to a double omental hernia that was not diagnosed at the time of visiting the emergency department.
