Internal hernias are challenging disorder for clinicians because of non-specific clinical signs and symptoms. Currently, multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is the first-line imaging technique for diagnosing various types of internal hernias. Supplementation of thin-slice axial CT with high-quality multiplanar reformation in the coronal and sagittal planes allows improved visualization of normal anatomical structures and pathological conditions and greater diagnostic accuracy in the diagnosis of internal hernias. Furthermore, the additional information provided by three-dimensional (3D) images allows a better understanding of pathological conditions of internal hernias and improves the ability to evaluate severity of a disease, thereby helping to optimize surgical planning. Radiologists should familiarize themselves with diagnostic MDCT findings of various types of internal hernias.
