paraumbilical hernia

Paraumbilical hernias (alternative plural: herniae) are a type of midline ventral abdominal hernia.

Pathology

Paraumbilical hernias occur near the umbilicus when abdominal contents protrude through a defect in the linea alba and can be quite large. They are usually related to rectus abdominis muscle divarication.
