This triangle lies in the posterolateral abdominal wall bounded in front by free margin of [[external oblique muscle]], behind by [[latissimus dorsi]] and below by [[iliac crest]]. The neck (place where a hernia protrudes into the opening) is large, so chances of [[strangulating]] are small. Occurs more often in males on the left side. Protrudes when the child cries. ==See also== [[lumbar hernia]] ==External links== * [http://www.edu.rcsed.ac.uk/Case%20Presentations/CP27.htm RCSED] * [http://www.emedicine.com/med/byname/abdominal-hernias.htm eMedicine] {{cleanup-context}} {{Gastroenterology}} [[Category:Hernias]] [[pl:Przepuklina Petita]]
