ABSTRACT

Intestinal obstruction syndrome represents a set of signs and symptoms caused by several gastrointestinal tract pathologies including luminal (bezoar, stones), extraluminal (adherences) or intramural pathologies (Crohn's Disease), peritoneal and systemic. The main clinical problems that arise are impossibility to evacuate gases and intestinal content. This problem represents 20% of surgical admissions and is one of the most frequent causes of intervention. Richter's hernia or partial enterocele, is a specific type of incarcerated hernia with impingement of the antimesenteric border of the small bowel. It only causes strangulation of that part of the intestinal wall circumference. Richter hernia is a very uncommon sickness. The diagnosis is difficult because signs and symptoms develop slowly and it is associated with high morbimortalitiy. We present the case of a patient with acute abdominal pain who was later diagnosed Richter's hernia.
