Internal hernia is an unusual pathology. They are underestimated becauseit is usually asymptomatic. The diagnosis is usually done during a complication like the acute intestinal obstruction. We report a case of left paraduodenal internal hernia. He was received at the emergency in a clinical presentation of acute intestinal obstruction. The abdomino- pelvicCT scan could not confirm the diagnosis in preoperative. The laparotomy confirms the diagnosis. The treatment consisted in the reduction of intestines and the closing of the bag. The post-operative was simple after a year of follow-up.
