Congenital Lumbar Hernia in an Infant with Phocomelia – An Unusual Presentation

Abstract

This case report presents a rare instance of congenital lumbar hernia in an infant diagnosed with phocomelia and bilateral congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). The patient, an 11-month-old female, exhibited progressive swelling in the left flank region from birth, necessitating surgical intervention. A comprehensive analysis of her condition, surgical approach, and literature on similar cases is documented, contributing to the understanding of congenital lumbar hernias.
