This report discusses a case involving a 54-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction, including abdominal pain, nausea, and constipation, along with a one-month history of weight loss.

Article Synopsis
- Internal hernias are a rare but serious cause of small intestinal obstructions, accounting for 0.6-5.8% of cases, with a small percentage being congenital trans mesenteric types.
- A case study of a 38-year-old male highlights the urgency of surgical intervention after presenting with severe abdominal symptoms, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of a strangulated trans mesenteric hernia.
- Timely diagnosis and surgery are crucial to prevent severe complications like bowel gangrene; laparotomy is the recommended treatment to address these emergencies and prevent future occurrences.

Introduction And Importance: Intussusception in adults is rare, constituting a miniscule number of bowel obstruction pathologies. Clinical practice often considers it a last-resort diagnosis, as other causes of mechanical small bowel obstruction are more common.
