    Author: Lund EP, Bergenfeldt M, Burcharth F.
    Journal: Hernia; 2004 Dec; 8(4):399-401. PubMed ID: 15221646.
    Abstract:
    A case of traumatic abdominal hernia is reported in a patient with a history of chronic cough. After a bout of coughing 3 months prior to her presentation, the patient developed a large herniation on the left lateral side of the abdomen. The patient presented with intestinal obstruction due to the herniation. A CT scanning confirmed the hernia and showed a peritoneal defect with herniation of most of the intestine on the left lateral side of the abdomen. An emergency midline laparotomy was performed, and the defect was corrected.
