MEERA SS SANTHASELVAKRISHNAN

Abstract


Hernia is undoubtedly one of the most common cases dealt by surgeons all over the world. Of the various types of abdominal hernias, the most unique are arguably the lumbar hernias. Lumbar hernia is an extremely rare variety of hernia with approximately only 300 cases reported in the literature. This unusual situation is relatively a rare defect of the posterior abdominal wall. This article presents a case study of this rare variant reported for the first time in the           department of surgery of this district teaching institution. The pre-surgical diagnosis of Primary Grynfeltt-Lesshaft type of Lumbar hernia Type A was made in our reported case. This article is presented for the rarity of the case and for the             documentation of types and discussion of management of this rare entity.
