Imaging in Gluteal Hernia

Gluteal hernias are extremely uncommon and occur as a result of deficiency or defect in the gluteal musculature. Our case reports one such incidence in a one year old girl with review of available literature. The clinical presentation and imaging findings are discussed comprehensively. We thus lay emphasis on the importance of real-time ultrasonography as the method of choice to identify hernia contents, peristalsis and obstruction if any.
