TL;DRAbstract

We describe a patient with a history of gastric bypass and chronic alcoholism suffering from a rare Peterson's hernia resulting from her surgery. There are a few case reports in which afferent loop obstruction was misdiagnosed as pancreatic pseudocyst after Billroth II gastrectomy. Ours is the first in which Peterson's hernia was initially misdiagnosed as a pancreatic pseudocyst in a gastric bypass patient.
