Abstract

Spigelian hernia is a relatively uncommon hernia of anterior abdominal wall, occurring in different anatomical tissue planes. It is a variant of inter-parietal hernia. Preoperative diagnosis of obstructed inter-parietal hernia is based on imaging. Once correctly diagnosed it is easily amenable to surgical repair. We present a case of Spigelian hernia presenting as right iliac fossa lump with features of small bowel obstruction.
