Resumen

ITURBIDE-MAURICIO, Leonel  y  GONZALEZ-TREVINO, Jorge C.. Intestinal occlusion secondary to internal hernia with intestinal ischemia in geriatric patient. Rev. med. Hosp. Gen. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.86, n.3, pp.111-114.  Epub 16-Oct-2023. ISSN 2524-177X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/hgmx.22000066.

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the most common causes of hospitalization and internal hernias represent a very rare etiology (0.2-0.9%). The most common manifestations include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. SBO can progress to strangulated intestinal obstruction (SIO), a serious condition that requires early diagnosis and emergency surgery. We report the case of a SIO with septic shock in a 73-year-old female with comorbidities and a history of previous surgeries, which required emergency surgery with intestinal resection and discharge of the patient without complications.
