Brief Summary

Researchers retrospectively reviewed patients with internal hernia that confirmed by surgical exploration between Feb. 2012 and Feb. 2018. and analysis the Medical records and MDCT images to investigate the clinical and radiological features of internal hernia.

Conditions

CT Images of Internal Hernia; Clinical Outcomes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• CT features

  MDCT features of IH were assessed for the following findings: (1) Demonstration of bowels dislocation in IH: dislocated cluster of the intestinal segments; crowding or convergence of mesenteric vessels; (2) Demonstration of obstruction or ischemia: bowel wall thickening or abnormal enhancement; dilated bowels with abnormal free fluid; twisted bowels with swirl sign of vessels.

Diagnostic Test: Multi-detector CT scan

non-adhesive IH

Non-adhesive IH means the IH resulting from the abnormality of peritoneal structure.

Diagnostic Test: Multi-detector CT scan

Interventions
