    Computed tomography (CT) effectively diagnoses lumbar hernias, which occur in the flank region. This imaging can differentiate hernias from other post-surgical flank issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Lumbar hernias are rare abdominal wall defects.
    • They occur in the anatomical region of the flank.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present computed tomography (CT) findings in patients with lumbar hernias.
    • To evaluate the utility of CT in diagnosing lumbar hernias and differentiating them from other flank pathologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of CT scans from seven patients diagnosed with lumbar hernias.
    • Analysis of hernia characteristics and anatomical relationships.

    Main Results:

    • Seven lumbar hernias were identified: six traumatic and one spontaneous.
    • CT accurately depicted the anatomy, confirming the diagnosis in all cases.

  • CT differentiated lumbar hernias from postincisional muscular weakness and neuralgia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing lumbar hernias.
    • CT can distinguish lumbar hernias from other causes of flank pain and weakness after surgery.
