Richter’s hernia (partial enterocele) is rare disease in which there is a swelling or/and entrapment of a
small part of intestine along its antimesenteric border due to minor defect in abdominal wall. Diagnosis
of Richter’s hernia & their associated complications are difficult due to absence of obstructive
symptoms with presence of early strangulation thereby increases mortality to 20-60%. For early
diagnosis of Richter’s hernia ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) are utilized and
emergency surgery is necessary to obviate complications of disease. Here, we are presenting a case of
20-year male patient reporting for abdominal pain radiating to right hypochondria, anorexia and
low-grade fever for 24 hours in which an incidental diagnosis of Richter’s Hernia along with acute
appendicitis was made.
