Lumbar hernia is an uncommon abdominal wall hernia. Acute abdominal wall hernias, particularly lumbar hernias, are a rare complication of trauma. We present a case of acute lumbar hernia as a direct effect of blunt abdominal trauma. Double-contrast CT scan detected herniation of bowel through an 8-cm right flank defect, which was surgically repaired with a prosthetic patch and omentopexy. In cases of acute traumatic lumbar hernia, immediate exploratory laparotomy with primary repair (when feasible) is recommended.

Unlabelled: Due to the increasing number of people working at computers in professional settings, the incidence of lumbar disc herniation is increasing.
Background/objectives: The early diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation is much more likely to yield favorable results, allowing the hernia to be treated before it develops further. The aim of this study was to classify lumbar disc herniations in a computer-aided, fully automated manner using magnetic resonance images (MRIs).
