Intestinal occlusion secondary to internal hernia with intestinal ischemia in geriatric patient
Abstract Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the most common causes of hospitalization and internal hernias represent a very rare etiology (0.2-0.9%). The most common manifestations include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. SBO can progress to strangulated intestinal obstruction (SIO), a serious condition that requires early diagnosis and emergency surgery. We report the case of a SIO with septic shock in a 73-year-old female with comorbidities and a history of previous surgeries, which required emergency surgery with intestinal resection and discharge of the patient without complications.
