          Abstract

          Over a period of 5 years, four cases of incarcerated (one strangulated) umbilical hernia (UH) in children were observed and treated in Saint-Denis, France. In a review of the literature, only 45 descriptions of complicated UHs in children were found worldwide. Incarceration of UHs is considered to be very rare in children, however, it appears to occur more frequently than it is generally believed. Therefore, a more active therapeutic approach is recommended even in smaller hernias, from more than an aesthetic point of view.
