  • Title: Handlebar hernia: diagnosis by abdominal computed tomography.
    Author: Mitchiner JC.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1990 Jul; 19(7):812-3. PubMed ID: 2389864.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic "handlebar" hernia, produced by impaction of a bicycle handlebar on the abdominal wall, is a rare entity. Presented is the case of a 7-year-old boy who sustained such a hernia, which contained an incarcerated loop of small bowel. The use of abdominal computed tomography to confirm the diagnosis before operative reduction of the hernia appears to be a safe and efficacious adjunct to physical examination.
