Spiegel's hernia is a rare pathology representing 1 to 2% of abdominal hernias. The clinical diagnosis is difficult with a very high risk of strangulation. Computed tomography allows the diagnosis and highlights the dehiscence but also the contents of the hernial sac which can be the omentum, small intestine, cecum, appendix or sigmoid. We report the case of a Spiegel's hernia complicated by occlusion in a 71-year-old lady at the Marie Curie medical clinic with the aim of writing the aspect of computed tomography in the diagnostic management of this pathology.
