Concomitant Spigelian and inguinal hernias in a neonate

John J White. J Pediatr Surg. 2002 Apr.

Abstract

A Spigelian hernia presented concurrently with bilateral inguinal hernias in a 1-month-old infant. This case emphasizes that a Spigelian hernia can occur in neonates and synchronously with an inguinal hernia. Analysis suggests that a Spigelian hernia, regardless of age of presentation, is congenital in origin.
