Core Tip	Spigelian hernia in children is an exceptionally rare and often misdiagnosed condition due to its transient nature and non-specific clinical presentation. This review provides the most comprehensive analysis to date, incorporating historical perspectives, anatomical insights, and modern diagnostic and surgical approaches. Ultrasound remains the primary diagnostic tool, while laparoscopy is emerging as an effective surgical option, particularly in cases with localization challenges. Increased awareness among pediatric surgeons and radiologists can enhance early detection, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes.
