Congenital lumbar "pseudohernia"

J Due Jr. J Pediatr Surg. 1979 Aug.

Abstract

At the age of 11 mo, a boy, born by breech presentation, was seen with signs suggesting a congenital lumbar hernia. Signs of already healing epiphysiolysis humeri and costal fractures suggested a traumatic origin of the hernia due to neuropraxia of the intercostal nerves. Full recovery ensued without active treatment.
