Lumbar hernia is a rare defect of the abdominal wall. It accounts for 2% of all wall hernias. It is divided in two levels: superior lumbar hernia, also known as Grynfeltt’s hernia (GH), and an inferior lumbar hernia or Petit’s hernia. They are in most of the cases secondary to trauma or previous surgery but primary lumbar hernias are rare. Computed tomography (CT) is a very useful tool for the diagnosis of lumbar hernia. It can delineate the neck of the hernia and hernial contents. We reported a case of 60 years old male parient with primary jean louis Petit’s hernia.
