“…LAH is a rather recently described and peculiar type of interstitial parietal hernia of the AW which consists of a generally asymptomatic ascending protrusion of intraperitoneal structures under the linea arcuata (LA) or arcuate line of Douglas (1,32). In most cases this type of hernia appears fortuitously demonstrated during abdominal CT obtained for various other pathological conditions oblique muscle inclosing the rectus muscle itself (1).…”

Thanks to its very high performances in term of spatial resolution, table speed and multiplanar reconstructions (MPR), 64-row MDCT today produces unrivalled high quality images of the entire abdominal wall (AW) during a single short breath hold. It appears thus particularly useful for the evaluation of AW hernias, allowing accurate identification of their contents, differentiation from other abdominal masses, planning of optimal surgical repair and detection of pre-or post-operative complications. The greater omentum (GO) is another structure that can also be clearly identified, localized and characterized with 64-row MDCT. The identification of its numerous vessels, which predominantly have a vertical course, is the essential key for its delineation. AW hernias implicating the GO are therefore exquisite situations that can also be optimally diagnosed by MDCT. The very high contrast provided by the mostly predominant fatty content of the GO offers a unique opportunity to clearly illustrate the classical anatomic landmarks of almost nearly each type of hernia of the antero-superior AW. The cases presented in this extensive pictorial review were collected in our department during a 5-year-period.

“…Review of the literature resulted in 4 previously reported symptomatic cases (Table 1). [1][2][3] Through the concave parietal fold created by the anatomic defect, ascending protrusion of intraperitoneal structures can occur. Minimal bulging of adipose tissue is classified as grade 1, whereas a grade 2 arcuate line hernia consists of an actual (although minimal) herniation of omental fat and/or intestinal loops.…”

Linea arcuate hernia disguised as Pfannenstiel incision's hernia: a case report and a systemic literature review

et al. 2017

We report a rare case of a 46-year-old woman 2 weeks after a cesarean section with Pfannenstiel incision, who presented at the Emergency Department with a significant abdominal pain accompanied by two episodes of vomiting. After that a clinical examination and an abdominal computed tomography scan were completed, a visceral herniation through Pfannenstiel incision was suspected. The indication of surgical exploration was clear. Finally, the laparotomy revealed a linea arcuata hernia with a hernia of the small intestine. After a reduction of the hernia sac, the defect was repaired and no mesh was placed. An antibiotic treatment with co-amoxicillin for 1 week during the recovery was prescribed. The patient recovered uneventfully and could be discharged by postoperative day 7.
