Incarcerated Umbilical Hernia
Umbilical hernias are especially common in infants of African descent, and occur more in boys. They involve protrusion of intraabdominal contents through a weakness at the site of passage of the umbilical cord through the abdominal wall. These hernias often resolve spontaneously. Umbilical hernias in adults are largely acquired, and are more frequent in obese or pregnant women. Abnormal decussation of fibers at the linea alba may contribute. Note reddened umbilical area resulting from entrapment of intra-abdominal contents in hernia. When this occurred, the patient developed accute pain in this region.  Protrusion of intra-abdominal contents through defect in posterior fascia. In this case the increase in size seen in the picture on the right is caused by asking the patient to perform the valsalva maneuver:  Umbilical hernia exacerbated by refractory ascites. Advanced liver disease precluded operative repair in this case:  Another Case:  ·  · |
