Congenital transmesenteric hernia in neonates is a rare cause of intestinal
obstruction with devastating outcomes and still remains a challenge to diagnose
pre-operatively. Patients are often managed with emergency surgical exploration
and may need bowel resection. We present 2 neonates with small bowel obstruction
secondary to strangulated transmesenteric hernia through a congenital defect in
the small bowel mesentery, which were managed successfully. We have also reviewed
the literature about congenital transmesenteric hernia in neonates.
