Introduction: Internal hernia is the protrusion of the abdominal viscera through the peritoneal or mesenteric opening, which remains within the boundaries of the abdominal cavity. Falciform ligament hernia is a rare type of internal hernia that occurs through an abnormal opening in the falciform ligament of the liver and accounts for 0.2% of all internal hernias. Presentation of signs and symptoms can often be nonspecific, with most case reports presenting with acute onset abdominal pain and signs suggestive of obstruction. Therefore, the aim of this study was the incarcerated abdominal hernia in the falciform ligament as a case report.
Case Introduction: A 32-year-old woman referred to the emergency department of Sarem Hospital in Tehran due to acute abdominal pain, nausea and slight dizziness. After observing the sonography by the emergency doctor and performing relevant examinations and diagnosing umbilical hernia, he was referred to the general surgeon of the hospital for consultation. After telephone consultation with him, the patient was hospitalized for surgery. After being hospitalized and transferred to the operating room under general anesthesia, he underwent surgery. Finally, after a successful operation, the patient was transferred to the recovery room in a good condition and then discharged.
Conclusion: Presentation of signs and symptoms can often be non-specific. In most of the case reports, the patient comes to medical centers with the acute onset of abdominal pain and symptoms indicating obstruction. Nevertheless, timely and accurate management will be very important in preventing complications and mortality in these patients.
