A rare traumatic abdominal wall hernia caused by severe cough is presented. This case, potentially the first documented instance, highlights an unusual etiology for abdominal wall defects.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Abdominal wall hernias are typically caused by trauma, surgery, or congenital defects.
  • Severe persistent cough is not a commonly recognized cause of abdominal wall hernias.

Observation:

  • A case of a traumatic abdominal wall hernia secondary to persistent severe cough is described.
  • Computed tomography (CT) imaging was utilized to evaluate the hernia and surrounding structures.

Findings:

  • The study presents imaging findings consistent with a traumatic abdominal wall hernia.
  • The literature review indicates this may be the first reported case of such an etiology.

Implications:

  • This case expands the differential diagnosis for abdominal wall hernias.
