Abstract:
A case of Spigelian hernia recently observed gives the chance to review the anatomic features of this pathology. Spigelian hernia is seldom suspected, owing to its rare incidence. Currently, ultrasonography seems to resolve diagnostic problems with an accuracy of 86%. Consequent surgical treatment such as simple hernioplasty is easy, and the risk of recurrence is very small.
