Intersigmoid hernia is a hernia of the small intestine into the intersigmoid fossa. Because the cavity of the intersigmoid fossa is so small, the preoperative detection of incarcerated intestine and/or mesenteric convergence is very difficult. We report a case of intersigmoid hernia in which the incarcerated bowel and mesenteric convergence could be visualized by oblique multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images on multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT).
