Abstract
Lumbar hernia is a rare condition and about 325 cases reported so far, not more than 30 cases of strangulated lumbar hernia have been reported in the surgical literature since 1889. Therefore, diagnosis can be easily misdiagnosed. We present a case of a 75-year-old gentleman, who had come with acute intestinal obstruction with strangulated right inferior lumbar hernia. We did exploratory laparotomy with resection and anastomosis and repair of hernia defect. As per our observation this is 31st reported case of strangulated/obstructed lumbar hernia in literature.
