“…Traumatic hernias are the most often and can occur either immediately or years after the injury. Diaphragmatic and mediastinal lung hernias are rare [ 3 , 15 ]. Etiologically, about 18% of pulmonary hernias are congenital, 52% are post-traumatic, 29% are spontaneous, and 1% are pathological [ 3 , 15 ].…”

“…Anatomic Classification About 35% of all lung hernias are of cervical location. They occur when a part of the lung protrudes through the anterior region of the thoracic inlet and it usually develops between the anterior scalene muscle and the sternocleidomastoid muscle as a result of the weakness of the suprapleural membrane (Sibson's fascia) [3,15]. Thoracic of intercostal lung hernias are the most common and account for approximately 60%-80% of all lung hernias.…”

Lung herniation is a rare clinical entity defined by extrathoracic protrusion of the lung or lung tissue due to a weakness in the thoracic wall. We present here a case of a 72-year-old male who presented with a spontaneous lung herniation, which occurred as a result of a ventral luxation of the third rib from the sternocostal joint due to vigorous coughing. The defect was repaired through anterolateral thoracotomy, reposition of the lung and approximating the ribs using heavy sutures. The postoperative course of the patient was uncomplicated. A brief review of the literature is also provided.

Intercostal hernia secondary to penetrating trauma presenting as an abdominal swelling: A rare case

Intercostal hernia (ICH) is a type of hernia, in which the sac or contents (lung, liver, bowel, or stomach) protrude through the intercostal space. It can be categorized either into acquired or congenital types, with or without a diaphragmatic defect. We report the case of a 45-year-old man who presented to a surgical clinic with irreducible swelling in his right upper abdomen for 7 months. Patient had a history of stab injury at the same site 7 years ago. Intraoperatively, a sac containing omentum was found arising through a defect of 2 cm × 2 cm burrowing below, in the 9th intercostal space, to manifest as a subcostal bulge with complete disruption of the sternocostal joint of the 9th rib. The procedure done was an onlay mesh hernioplasty. ICH, though a rare entity, should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in patients with a history of thoraco-abdominal trauma. It may require modifications in the operative technique or even thoracic exploration in extreme cases.
