Abstract
The anterolateral abdominal Hernias are a frequent reason for consultation; Spiegel's hernia is a rare spontaneous abdominal anterolateral hernia (0.12% of abdominal hernias) for patients between 40 and 70 years old, There are risk factors such as intra-abdominal hyperpressure secondary to morbid obesity, multiple pregnancies and chronic cough. The surgery is the standard treatment; whether by raphy or prosthetic mesch. We report the case of a 42 year old male admitted to the emergency room for an occlusion syndrome due to the strangulated spiegel hernia with caecal and appendicular contents.
