An interparietal hernia has a hernial sac. ( usually in the inguinal region
inguinal region
In human anatomy, the groin (the adjective is inguinal, as in inguinal canal) is the junctional area (also known as the inguinal region) between the abdomen and the thigh on either side of the pubic bone.
) which passes. between the layers of the anterior abdominal wall. The sac may or may not be associated with or communicate with a sac in the com- mon situation in the inguinal canal
inguinal canal
The inguinal canals are the two passages in the anterior abdominal wall of humans and animals which in males convey the spermatic cords and in females the round ligament of the uterus. The inguinal canals are larger and more prominent in males. There is one inguinal canal on each side of the midline.
The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis, is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia.
A spigelian hernia can occur on either side of the abdomen, but most people feel pain in the lower abdomen. A spigelian hernia can block the bowel or other vital organs. When this occurs, it is a life-threatening complication that requires immediate medical attention.
What causes a spigelian hernia?
Causes. A spigelian hernia is relatively rare, usually developing after age 50, primarily in men. The cause is usually a weakening of the abdominal wall, trauma, or prolonged physical stress. Spigelian hernias are sometimes challenging to diagnose or mistaken for other abdominal conditions.
