RESUMEN

A 26-year-old man with acute deterioration of recurrent abdominal pain was admitted to the hospital. Plain film (abdominal radiographs), spiral computed tomography (CT), and barium contrast studies were performed. A left paraduodenal hernia causing acute jejunal obstruction was identified on upper gastrointestinal barium studies and spiral CT. Pre- and postsurgery examinations were compared, and relevant radiological findings were identified. Spiral CT provided excellent visualization of the pathognomonic displacement of the inferior mesenteric vein.
