description | INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Lumbar hernias are a rare type of hernia that occur in the posterior abdomen; they represent less than 3 % of all hernias, and approximately 350 cases have been reported in the medical literature. They can be categorized as congenital, traumatic, incisional, and spontaneous. Clinically they are not different from other hernias and the gold standard for diagnosis is computed tomography (CT) followed by tension-free plasty treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 15-year-old female patient with a Petit's hernia, who was successfully treated using tension-free plasty. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Petit's hernia occurs more commonly between the ages of 50 and 70 years. Our case involved a 15-year-old female patient with a clinical presentation of an uncomplicated hernia that was managed by tension-free plasty. CONCLUSION: Petit's hernia is an uncommon hernia that requires a high index of suspicion the support of imaging studies to confirm diagnosis and provide treatment. |
