Spigelian hernia: An unusual presentation of an uncommon entity

Abstract

Introduction Spigelian hernia (SH) is an uncommon defect of the abdominal wall that occurs through the spigelian fascia. SH has varied, non-specific, dubious clinical features which makes diagnosis extremely difficult at times. Pain is common and is invariably associated with the narrow neck of the sac; atypically, our patient had no history of pain at any time.
