Abstract
Umbilical hernia (UH) is an abnormality in the abdominal wall and results when there is persistence of a patent umbilical ring. In paediatric anterior wall defects, UH is one of the most commonly encountered abnormalities in the early months of infancy. Literature review reported that it is seen in about 10 -20% of all children. Only a few children have a hernia that persists beyond four or five years of age as most of these UH close spontaneously. Surgical repair is required only in about 30% of the cases. This case series report UH in two children and highlight the significance of UH with a review of literature.
