ABSTRACT
Abdominal wall hernias are a common pathology and source of morbidity including chronic pain. They occur in various anatomical areas; amongst the rarest locations is the Spigelian hernia accounting for <2% of all abdominal hernias. We present a case report of a patient with chronic right iliac fossa pain caused by an incarcerated Spigelian hernia containing her appendix within the hernial defect. Rarer still is that her hernial defect penetrated all three layers of anterior abdominal wall, typically a Spigelian hernia would only pass through transversus abdominis and internal oblique layers.
