Abstract

Hernias involving the retroperitoneum are unusual. The most common of these are the paraduodenal hernias. A retroperitoneal hernia occurring from a lateral defect in the colonic retroperitoneal attachments is presented. We believe that this case represents a newly recognized variant of retroperitoneal hernias.
