Abstract
The most common causes for small-bowel obstructions with subsequent strangu lation are intraabdominal adhesions and external hernias. We report an unus ual case of strangulated small-bowel hernia through a congenital window in the falciform ligament. The diagnosis and surgical treatment are discussed.
