Abstract
Low Spigelian hernia (LSH) in children is considered an extreme surgical rarity. This clinically deceptive hernia is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and has a real risk of strangulation. Strangulated LSH may be misdiagnosed as strangulated inguinal hernia. Early recognition and timely surgical repair are important to avoid strangulation.Entities:
