ABSTRACT: 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.
