Abstract
Intestinal obstruction is one of the common causes’ emergency department visits, the prompt management of which is complicated by wide array of causes. Supra-vesical hernia has been reported to be a rare surgical cause of obstruction. Early diagnosis is often difficult and therefore can it has high chances of acute & emergent presentation. Prompt recognition of symptoms and evaluation are important to prevent poor prognosis. We are presenting a case of 62-year-old, medical free, male patient presenting to emergency department with clinical picture of abdominal obstruction. Based on the clinical examination and abdominal radiography, a provisional diagnosis of small bowel obstruction was made. CT scan confirmed the diagnosis with further specifying the extent of the hernial sac reaching up to the urinary bladder. The patient was managed successfully through exploratory laparotomy with no injury to the urinary bladder.
