Abstract

Spiegel's Hernia is a rare pathology, presenting only 1 to 2% of all abdominal wall hernias. Its clinical diagnosis is often difficult. It is often diagnosed at the stage of complication. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with an acute painful swelling of the right iliac fossa due to a strangulated Spiegel Hernia with caecum and appendix contents in whom emergency surgery was performed.

Keywords: Spiegel's Hernia, strangulation, emergency surgery
