Abstract
An umbilical hernia is caused by a weakness of the connective tissue and abdominal muscles around the umbilicus. This weakness creates an opening, known as a defect, which allows for underlying fat or intestine to protrude through the abdominal wall and form a bulge under the skin in or around your umbilicus. Umbilical hernias are frequently seen in children, but they are also common in adults. In children, the defects often close with age and may not require surgery.. An acquired umbilical hernia directly results from increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by obesity, heavy lifting, a long history of coughing, or multiple pregnancies. In adults, umbilical hernias do not heal themselves and can only be repaired with surgery So here is an attempt to go through the details of case and discuss it thoroughly as it is one of the commonest hernias in routine practice. We have reported a case of 55 years male with acquired umbilicus hernia as it is so common and must be discussed to help surgeons, radiologists.
