    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Abdominal Wall Anatomy

    Background:

    • Spigelian hernias are uncommon defects in the abdominal wall.
    • Diagnosis in pediatric populations is often challenging.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a Spigelian hernia in a 13-year-old female.
    • The hernia was not initially apparent as a palpable mass.

    Findings:

    • Spigelian hernias may be more prevalent in children than previously thought.
    • Intermittent abdominal pain is a key symptom in pediatric cases.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider Spigelian hernias in the differential diagnosis of pediatric abdominal pain.
    • Early diagnosis can prevent complications associated with undiagnosed hernias.
