title: Congenital lumbar "pseudohernia".
abstract: At the age of 11 mo, a boy, born by breech presentation, was seen with signs suggesting a congenital lumbar hernia. Signs of already healing epiphysiolysis humeri and costal fractures suggested a traumatic origin of the hernia due to neuropraxia of the intercostal nerves. Full recovery ensued without active treatment.
