| Abstract: | We report a child who sustained a traumatic hernia of the lower abdominal wall after being thrown forward against the handlebar of his bicycle. This is a rare injury in children, and the clinical features mimic an inguinal haematoma. Suspicion should be raised by the immediate appearance of a mass above the inguinal canal following groin injury, particularly if the swelling then disappears with the patient supine.
