Brief summary
Infantile umbilical hernia is common in children. It has a regressive course in most cases. Conservative management is the standard in most cases before the age of 3 years unless there are complications such as incarceration, rupture with evisceration which are extremely rare and warrants emergency surgery. We present a rare case of a 6-month-old child with sudden spontaneous evisceration of infantile umbilical hernia.
