A late presentation of a left paraduodenal hernia in an elderly patient admitted in emergency: A case report.

Small bowel internal hernias (IHs), a rare cause of small bowel occlusion (SBO) and small bowel strangulation, while more commonly seen in young adults, can also affect elderly patients and pose a significant diagnostic challenge due to their nonspecific symptoms. In most cases, laparotomy was used to diagnose IHs. However, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is usually the best imaging tool to use in the emergency setting for the diagnosis of IHs.

Spontaneous resolution of gallstone ileus followed by imaging: A case report and a literature review.

Gallstone ileus (GI) is a rare cause of acute abdomen in an emergency setting and a rare complication of cholelithiasis in the elderly, with a female prevalence. Radiologists play a key role in the diagnosis and management of this condition and, with a multimodal approach, diagnostic accuracy usually increases. Spontaneous resolution of GI has previously been reported for stones smaller than 2 cm.
