Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lumbar hernia is a relatively rare clinical phenomenon. They may be classified according to their anatomic location and they can be either congenital or acquired. These patients usually present with a protruding bulge in the posterolateral abdominal wall. Portions of the small and large intestine may be found in the sac. This may be asymptomatic or it can become incarcerated and strangulated. We report here on a rare case of secondary lumbar hernia combined with descending colon incarceration. The diagnosis of lumbar hernia was made by CT scan and barium enema. Excision of the sac was performed and the hernial defect in the fascia was repaired with polypropylene mesh reinforcement.
