ABSTRACT

Posterior rectus sheath hernia is a truly rare finding, with only 11 documented cases since the first report in 1937. A posterior rectus sheath hernia is herniation of bowel and/or omentum through the posterior portion of the rectus sheath, but not through any other structure. This can only occur medial to the spigelian fascia, differentiating it from a spigelian hernia. Previous missed cases have led to complications such as bowel incarceration, obstruction or even strangulation and have required surgical intervention. In this case report, we describe an incidental finding of a non-complicated posterior rectus sheath hernia in an 83-year-old male. Annotated cross-sectional imaging provides anatomical context that is not widely available in the existing literature. Due to its rarity and potential complications, it is also important to report this case in order to enhance the evidence base for posterior rectus sheath hernia and to familiarize this uncommon condition to radiologists, clinicians and surgeons.
