A rare strangulated lumbar hernia was diagnosed in a 73-year-old man using CT scan. Surgical repair via a transperitoneal approach led to a successful recovery, highlighting the importance of recognizing this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

General Surgery
Abdominal Wall Surgery

Background:

Lumbar hernias are infrequent and can be easily misdiagnosed.
Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing complications like strangulation.

Observation:

A 73-year-old male presented with left flank pain and a lumbar protrusion for three weeks.
Clinical presentation suggested a possible lumbar hernia, necessitating further investigation.

Findings:

Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed a strangulated lumbar hernia.
A primary surgical repair was successfully performed using a transperitoneal approach.

Implications:

This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion for lumbar hernias, despite their rarity.
