This study depicts the case of a young female presenting with intestinal obstruction. Surgery uncovered a small bowel hamartoma that has caused a transmesenteric internal hernia and volvulus. As far as we know, this is unheard of before, as all three mentioned entities are very rare. The study also covers a literature review of cases of internal hernia with volvulus and stresses over the need for urgent diagnosis and management.
