  • Title: Umbilical varix presenting as an incarcerated umbilical hernia--a costly mistake if not recognised.
    Author: Tahir A, Kakani N, O'Riordan D, Godwin R.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2004 Nov; 86(6):W47-8. PubMed ID: 16749967.
    Abstract:
    Incarcerated umbilical hernias commonly present as emergencies. Often they are diagnosed clinically and repaired surgically. In the case reported here, surgery could have been complicated by a major haemorrhage. An accurate history, high index of suspicion and attention to detail are paramount.
