Case of Rare Abdominal Wall Hernia

Abstract

Posterior rectus sheath hernias are extremely rare. Exact mechanism of these hernias is not well understood. These hernias located between posterior rectus sheath and rectus muscle, above or below the umbilicus. As any other ventral hernias, posterior rectus sheath hernias may be presented as an emergency. US and/or CT may be helpful to suggest the posterior rectus sheath hernia before exploration. Diagnosis is made in surgery.
