La hernia de Spiegel es un defecto de la pared abdominal poco común, lo que dificulta su diagnóstico siendo básicamente clínico. El gold standard es el TC abdominal. Presentamos a un paciente, cuyo único factor de riesgo era el sobrepeso, que acudió a urgencias por dolor abdominal secundario a una estrangulación herniaria que causaba una obstrucción intestinal aguda. Se indicó tratamiento quirúrgico urgente, con buena evolución.
The Spiegel hernia is an uncommon abdominal wall defect. Its diagnosis is basically clinical, however it is sometimes difficult to diagnose so the gold standard is the abdominal CT. We present a patient, whose only risk factor was being overweight, who came to the emergency room due to abdominal pain secondary to a hernia strangulation that caused an acute intestinal obstruction. Urgent surgical treatment was indicated, with good evolution.
