A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen in Pregnancy: Internal Herniation
Abstract
Internal herniation is one of the rare causes of intestinal obstruction. The most common causes of intestinal obstruction are adhesive bridges, volvulus, and invagination. The classic triad frequently seen in the clinic includes colic type abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting and absences of gas passage and defecation. It is very difficult to diagnose internal herniation during pregnancy due to the inability to see all clinical findings together, to confuse the findings with obstetric pain, and to the possible fetal side effects due to the application of radiological diagnostic methods. Because of high maternal and fetal mortality risk, it is important to make an early diagnosis and perform surgical intervention without any delay if necessary. In all pregnant women presenting with a diagnosis of acute abdomen, intestinal obstruction and the possibility of the internal herniation that may cause this clinical picture should be kept in mind
