Spontaneous Evisceration following Ruptured Umbilical Hernia Abscess in an Infant: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Umbilical hernia is one of the most common congenital anomalies. We document an unusual event of abscess of umbilical hernia in a 5-month-old female which was associated with rupture of the hernia followed by evisceration. Immediate reduction and surgical repair were done. The case reports an uncommon trilogy of rupture of umbilical hernia, abscess, and spontaneous evisceration. © 2025 Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons.
