QUESTION

An example of internal hernia?

OPTIONS

(A) Inguinal hernia
(B) Ventral hernia
(C) Umbilical hernia
(D) Diaphragmatic hernia

ANSWER

(D) Diaphragmatic hernia

EXPLANATION

A diaphragmatic hernia allows abdominal organs to pass through a defect in the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity and is classified here as an internal hernia. Inguinal, ventral, and umbilical hernias describe openings associated with the body wall or groin, so they are not the internal example sought.
