Résumé
The anterior liver hernia is a very rare entity that mainly occurs within an incisional hernia. Primary anterior liver hernia, in the absence of a previous abdominal incision, is extremely rare. The diagnosis is suspected in patients with epigastric bulging. The confirmation requires imaging studies such as computed tomography scan (CT scan). We report the case of an incarcerated primary ventral liver hernia, in an 83-year-old man who presented with a sudden epigastric swelling. A contrast-enhanced CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of incarcerated epigastric hernia with liver and epiploic content. Risk factors were thought to be the increased intra-abdominal pressure related to benign prostate hyperplasia, as well as the old age of the patient. The surgical conservative management was successful.
