Abstract

Lateral ventral hernia (Spigelian Hernia) is a rare; mostly congenital surgical pathology in childhood. It is classified as an interstitial hernia rising from weakness of transverse abdominal muscle fascia. In some cases the weakness can arise from, the external abdominal muscle fascia. Crypto or chidism frequently accompanies the hernia. Primary repair of the weak region is sufficient for treatment. Strangulation can be seen in late presenting cases. Our case was a 10 month old male patient with undescended testis accompanying the lateral ventral hernia. The hernia had been diagnosed at birth but remained untreated. The case was managed succcesfully despite late admission. Synthetic mesh was used as support due to the additional external oblique muscle fascia weakness. In the 1.5 year follow-up we have not encountered any complication. Clinical suspicion and correct diagnosis is important for the management and prevention of complications of this rare disorder. Primary repair is sufficient in most cases; additional support with synthetic material may be required, in cases with external oblique muscle and fascia weakness.

Özet

Lateral ventral fıtık (Spigelian fıtık) çocuk yaş grubunda görülen genellikle doğumsal, oldukça nadir görülen cerrahi bir patolojidir. Transvers karın kasının fasya zayıflığından kaynaklanan intertisyel fıtıktır. Ancak, zayıflık dış karın kasının fasyasında da görülebilir. Fıtığa sıklıkla inmemiş testis eşlik edebilir. Gecikmiş olgularda strangülasyon görülebilir. Tedavide primer tamir yeterlidir. Olgumuz 10 aylık erkek hasta. Fıtık doğumdan hemen sonra saptanmış ancak tedavi edilmemişti. Fıtığa inmemiş testis eşlik etmekteydi. Olgu gecikmiş olmakla birlikte komplikasyon gelişmemişti ve başarı ile tedavi edildi. Dış karın kasında da zayıflık olması nedeni ile sentetik mesh ile destek gerekli görüldü. Olgu 1.5 yıldır sorunsuz olarak takip edilmektedir. Lateral ventral fıtık nadir görüldüğünden patolojinin düşünülmesi erken teşhis ve tedavi dolayısı ile komplikasyonların önlenmesinde önemlidir. Dış karın kası ve fasyasının zayıflığında sentetik materyalle destek gerekebilir.
