Popis: The umbilical hernia is common in children. Most of the cases have a spontaneous regression around the age of 3 years. Complications are very rare, and thus surgery is not routinely indicated before the age of 3 years. We report an exceptional case of spontaneous rupture of an umbilical hernia with emphasis on the management of this rare complication and a literature review of similar cases.
