Abstract:
A transomental hernia is a rare type of internal hernia. Only one case of this type of hernia has been reported in Korea whereas several cases have been described in other countries. This is the second case of a mechanical obstruction caused by a transomental internal hernia in Korea. We report this case with a brief review of the relevant literature.
