Abstract
Incarcerated linea alba hernia is a rare form of ventral hernia. Most of these contain pre-peritoneal fat or the omentum. Herniation of containing ligamentum teres hepatis is seldom seen. A 52-year-old man presented with an abdominal wall mass and dull pain for 2 weeks. Computed tomography and ultrasound examination of the abdomen revealed an epigastrium linea alba hernia containing the liver round ligament. A hernial sac of size 3 cm × 4 cm was explored by laparoscopic surgery and successfully managed with hernia repair.
