Lumbar hernia is a rare defect of the posterior abdominal wall, first described in 1672 by Barrett. Grynfelt and Lesshaft described herniation of the upper lumbar triangle in 1886 and 1870, respectively. It occurs due to weakening of the transversalis fascia and transversus abdominis fascia. As a consequence, this weakening allows the abdominal contents to protrude through the upper lumbar triangle.
