Giant congenital epigastric hernia.

Abstract:

Epigastric hernia is rare in children. When it occurs, as in adults, it is usually small. This is a report of a giant, congenital epigastric hernia which was repaired early to prevent complications. Though there was a brief period of postoperative respiratory difficulty, the final outcome was satisfactory. This case is interesting due to its massive size and congenital nature.
