Abstract

Umbilical hernia is a common problem encountered in children. Rupture and evisceration are very rare phenomena, and the usual content that is eviscerated is the bowel. We present an infant who had a ruptured umbilical hernia with eviscerated urinary bladder dome. As this is the first case of its kind, it is being reported with a brief review of literature.
