Özet
Internal herniation is one of the rare causes of intestinal obstruction. The most common causesof intestinal obstruction are adhesive bridges, volvulus, and invagination. The classic triadfrequently seen in the clinic includes colic type abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting and absencesof gas passage and defecation. It is very difficult to diagnose internal herniation duringpregnancy due to the inability to see all clinical findings together, to confuse the findings withobstetric pain, and to the possible fetal side effects due to the application of radiologicaldiagnostic methods. Because of high maternal and fetal mortality risk, it is important to makean early diagnosis and perform surgical intervention without any delay if necessary. In allpregnant women presenting with a diagnosis of acute abdomen, intestinal obstruction and thepossibility of the internal herniation that may cause this clinical picture should be kept in mind.
