[Hernia in children].
Congenital hernia seems to be the right term to define "hernia in childhood". Especially in newborn and infant, it is possible to observe numerous different pathologies which have nothing in common apart their congenital origin. Some as inguinal or umbilical hernia are very commonly encountered and others us omphalocele, gastroschisis or diaphragmatic hernia are quite rare and involved in the field of prenatal diagnosis and neonatal surgery.
