CONGENITAL SPIGELIAN HERNIA IN CHILDREN – CASE REPORT

摘要

Spigelian hernia is an uncommon entity in children. The clinical signs can lead to a misdiagnose with inguinal hernias. In the literature there are only a few references to this kind of pathology. Usually these hernias associate cryptorchidism. We report a 2-years-old boy with bilateral Spigelian hernia, bilateral undescended testis and hypospadias with penile curvature. The Spigelian hernias were repaired and bilateral orchidopexy was done after 3 months period. Hypospadias repair was done afterwards.
