Symptoma

Lumbar Hernia

Two cases with congenital lumbar hernia associated with the lumbocostovertebral syndrome are presented. The first case of a 14-month-old girl presented with the type of a superior lumbar triangle hernia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Flank Mass

    Here, we present a case of a 49-year-old Caucasian man who presented with an enlarged left flank mass after iliac bone harvest for pseudarthrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Conclusion A lumbar or flank mass should always raise suspicion of a lumbar hernia. Ultrasound and computed tomography may confirm the diagnosis. Adequate surgical treatment should be planned on the basis of etiology and hernia size. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

  • Anemia

    Investigations revealed iron deficiency anemia. MRI scan showed that swelling contained multiple bowel loops herniating through a body wall defect. It also showed fluid in the swelling as well. A diagnosis of left lumbar hernia was thus made. [pjms.com.pk]

  • Chronic Abscess

    Differential diagnosis includes a lipoma, a fibroma, a retroperitoneal or intra-cavitary tumor, hematoma or a chronic abscess. They may occur in association with defects of the musculoskeletal system including some syndromes. [pjms.com.pk]

    In such a situation, a long standing hernia is apt to be mistaken for lipoma, a fibroma, a retroperitoneal tumour or a chronic abscess. An entity, which is less well known, and consequently more likely to be missed is an acute lumbar hernia. [jpgmonline.com]

    If you feel back pain, a dragging sensation, or a bulge in the side of your abdomen following an operation, you may have a lumbar (flank) hernia. [nycherniasurgery.com]

    Prevention To help prevent low back pain or a herniated disc: Stay at a healthy body weight. This may reduce the load on your lower back. Exercise regularly. Quit smoking. [uofmhealth.org]

  • Spine Pain

  • Flank Pain

    This article discusses a patient presenting with flank pain years after an iliac crest bone harvest as well as a brief review of the pathogenesis and history of lumbar hernias. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    If symptoms are present, they include back or flank pain or a dragging sensation. Left untreated, lumbar hernias can grow to large proportions. [gi.surgery.ucsf.edu]

    **Patients with lumbar hernia are usually asymptomatic but may complain of backache, flank pain or a dragging sensation. These hernias have a natural history of a gradual increase in size over time. Left lumbar hernia. [mediphotos.blogspot.com]

    These include backache, flank pain, occasional nausea, a feeling of weight or a dragging sensation. In small lesions or in obese patients or no abnormality may be detected on physical examination. [ijri.org]

A patient with an incomplete workup: When diagnosis is uncertain, postpone surgery. Disc herniations are so ubiquitous that being cavalier in diagnosis is easy. Ensure the completeness of the workup prior to proceeding with the operation. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Staphylococcus Aureus

    A swab taken from the sinus grew Staphylococcus aureus: Plain roentgenograms of the pelvis showed an old fracture of iliac crest with a missing triangular shaped segment. [jpgmonline.com]

  • Sinus Arrhythmia

    Her ECG showing sinus arrhythmia, therefore high risk consent was taken. The swelling was explored through a vertical incision over the swelling with the patient lying in right lateral position. [pjms.com.pk]

The only curative treatment is surgery and must be done as soon as the diagnosis was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Most disc problems improve without surgery and return to normal function. Duration of treatment can range from 4 to 12 weeks depending on the severity of the symptoms. [twinboro.com]

Prognosis of the lumbar hernia is good and only one case of recurrence has been reported in the literature [32]. REFERENCES Grynfeltt J. Quelque mot sur la hernie lombaire. montpellier med 16 : 323, 1866 Pul M, Pul N, Gürses N. [jpss.eu]

So many largely unknown or poorly understood factors are involved in the pathophysiology of this disease that the right treatment is very difficult to pinpoint; this is the main reason so many treatments are continuously proposed. [ajnr.org]

However, in spite of their rarity, serious adverse intraoperative complications may occur, so we must be aware of its existence in order to make an early diagnosis and treatment to prevent a fatal outcome. [revistaneurocirugia.com]
