  • Title: Strangulated low Spigelian hernia in children: report of two cases.
    Author: Vaos G, Gardikis S, Zavras N.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2005 Sep; 21(9):736-8. PubMed ID: 15977015.
    Abstract:
    Low Spigelian hernia (LSH) in children is considered an extreme surgical rarity. This clinically deceptive hernia is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and has a real risk of strangulation. Strangulated LSH may be misdiagnosed as strangulated inguinal hernia. Early recognition and timely surgical repair are important to avoid strangulation.
