We report a case of small bowel obstruction secondary to internal hernia through a defect in the broad ligament diagnosed by MDCT and confirmed at surgery. The CT findings that allow the diagnosis of this very rare cause of SBO are presented here.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
