AbstractBackground: Internal hernias are infrequent, yet serious, medical conditions with potentially severe consequences. An internal hernia resulting from an Appendices epiploicae (AE) ring is an especially rare cause, with a mere nine documented instances worldwide. Case report: This report presents the case of a 58-year-old male who suffered from an internal hernia originating from an AE ring. The condition led to a gangrenous small bowel, which was treated by laparotomy and resection of the affected segment, followed by primary anastomosis. The post-operative recovery was favorable. Conclusion: Internal hernias, although rare, warrant immediate attention and early intervention to preclude detrimental outcomes, as illustrated in this particular case.
