description Spontaneous lung and bowel hernias are infrequent structural defects secondary to conditions that usually follow bouts of excessive straining. These two conditions have been individually well documented in the literature; however, there are seldom reports of this combination of defects. Here, we describe the case of a 69-year-old man diagnosed with combined spontaneous lung and colon herniation following an episode of severe coughing due to uncontrolled asthma. Early recognition and prompt treatment should be warranted to prevent complications.
