Introduction

spigelian hernias are rare anterior abdominal wall hernias, accounting for less than 2% of all hernias. Traumatic spigelian hernias are exceptionally rare and typically result from blunt abdominal trauma.

Case presentation

We report a case of a 15-year-old male who presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain following blunt trauma. Imaging revealed a traumatic spigelian hernia with an associated ileal mesenteric defect. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and hernia repair with excellent postoperative recovery.

Conclusion

This case highlights the importance of early recognition and surgical management of traumatic spigelian hernias, particularly when associated with underlying mesenteric defects.
