Description
Transdiaphragmatic intercostal hernias (TIH) are rare. Less than 40 cases of TIH have so far been reported, with only 8 cases involving herniation of the liver. This report presents the case of 2 patients with a right-sided abdominal lump following a fall. Thoracoabdominal CT-scan showed a TIH between the 9th and 10th ribs with liver and right colonic herniation in both patients. Both patients were successfully treated with mesh repair. The presentation, physiopathology and management of this rare occurrence are discussed.
