description Interstitial hernias are a rare entity. Most of them are detected incidentally on imaging studies.

Laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis and led to an accurate treatment avoiding a new laparotomy. In this case, prompt surgical decision based on clinical and CT scan findings allowed a mini-invasive approach with satisfactory outcome.
