title: [Spigelian hernia].
abstract: Spigelian hernia is very rare. Together with the direct inguinal hernia which emerges between the inferior epigastric artery and the edge of the rectus muscle, it is more frequent. Congenital openings in the aponeurosis of the transverse muscle permit the hernia either above or under the inferior epigastric artery. Due to neglect of this type of hernia and absence of herniation, the diagnosis can be difficult. Complaints are often uncharacteristic. Surgical intervention is indicated.
