Internal hernia, is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Since it has a high mortality rate and the diagnosis is often missed, it is important to search for it in patients presenting with intestinal obstruction for prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. We present a case of pericecal internal hernia and report the utility of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis.
