Abstract
Right-sided paraduodenal hernia (PH) is a rare congenital malformation that arises due to a defect in the rotation of the middle intestine during embryogenesis. Though it is usually an incidental finding on autopsy or during laparotomy, it can be responsible for episodes of recurring abdominal pain or even acute abdomen (1,2). A search of the literature only revealed three cases of right- sided PH diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) (3-5).
