N2  - Handlebar hernia is a rare traumatic abdominal wall hernia occurring after blunt trauma. We report a case of an adolescent patient with a traumatic rectus muscle abdominal wall hernia produced by injury with the bicycle handlebar. The skin abrasion caused by the trauma and a swelling reproduced after a Valsalva maneuver suggested the diagnosis. Traumatic wall hernias after blunt trauma should be repaired primarily to avoid complications.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
