Grynfeltt-Lesshaft hernia is a type of lumbar hernia located in the superior lumbar triangle. Lumbar hernias are rare hernias. Clinical diagnosis of lumbar hernias can be a challenging especially in obese or asymptomatic patients. Lumbar hernias have been frequently misdiagnosed and lead to serious complications. Surgery (open or laparoscopic) is recommended to correct the defect and to avoid the exacerbation of the hernia and associated complications. The majority of the reported cases in the past were diagnosed on a CT scan. This study presents a case of successful detection of a Grynfeltt-Lesshaft hernia by US scan then confirmed by a subsequent CT scan. The aim of this case report was to Increase knowledge of lumbar hernias and to demonstrate the role of US in the diagnosis of lumbar hernias.read more
