Two cases of internal hernia involving the sigmoid colon are reported. Comparison of their presentations and operative findings are made. Both highlight the need to be aware of the dangers of internal herniation and the consideration of such diagnoses in the patient who has no external hernia or previous history of abdominal operations.
