PETERSEN'S HERNIA A CASE PRESENTATION

INPHARASUN INPHARASUN

Abstract


Abstract : Petersen's internal hernia is a rare complication
following gastroenteral anastamoses. Previously it was most
commonly found in patients who had undergone gasro enteral
bypasses for peptic ulcer disease.With the increased
incidence of gastric malignancies and increasing number of
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity, there is a
resurgence of interest in this rare type of internal hernia. Here
we present a case of Petersen's hernia in a 42 year old male
with a history of Truncal vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy for
peptic ulcer disease 10 years previously.
