Abstract

We present the case of an elderly woman who was admitted with the diagnosis of bowel obstruction and hemodynamic instability, during laparotomy an internal hernia of the broad ligament was found, and intestinal resection performed. Internal hernia remains as an exceptionally rare cause of bowel obstruction. In this case report we present a review of the literature of this uncommon hernia type.
