The lesion was not associated with injury or other triggers. The lesion grew initially and then stabilized. Physical examination revealed a soft nodule that could be compressed on palpation (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>A).

The diagnosis can be confirmed by means of ultrasonography or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Ultrasound should be the technique of choice, as it is noninvasive, is performed in real time, and is inexpensive; NMR should be reserved for doubtful cases.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,8</span></a> When examined using ultrasound, normal muscle fascia is thin and echogenic. In mild cases of MH, the fascia is thinner than normal and the slight muscle protrusion raises the overlying fascia. When MH is evident, the fascia shows a defect with clearly defined limits through which the external herniation of the muscle occurs. Ultrasound in B-mode, using a high-frequency linear probe, may confirm the diagnosis by showing discontinuity of the muscle fascia with protrusion of the muscle; this will be more evident if the muscle is contracted and dynamic images should therefore be taken (with the involved muscle contracted and relaxed). The probe should be applied lightly to avoid reducing the hernia.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a></p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Asymptomatic hernias do not require treatment. Conservative management is recommended in the case of mild symptoms and surgery in more severe cases, although there is no consensus regarding the most appropriate technique.
