  ABSTRACT: Pathological implications of the falciform ligament are rare and internal hernias are exceptional. The origin of the falciform ligament defect can be congenital or inflammatory (a satellite of acute cholecystitis) or even post-surgical. The internal hernias of the falciform ligament are most often revealed by an acute intestinal obstruction syndrome with an ischemic component. The scanner provides the benchmarking examination allowing us to conduct a positive diagnosis and see also the inherent complications, which drives us to take the appropriate and fast surgical procedures. It is an entity that must be known.
