Abstract
Introduction: Hernia through the suprapubic catheterization site is extremely rare. Attention is required for such hernias as they can get easily complicated by obstruction and strangulation due to its narrow neck. These are life-threatening complications.
Case Report: We report a case of a 65-year-old man who presented with a strangulated incisional hernia through the SPC site. He was managed successfully by urgent surgical intervention.
Conclusion: Incisional hernia through the suprapubic catheterization site should not be forgotten during examination of patients with abdominal pain, to ensure prompt surgical intervention in case of strangulated hernia.

Keywords: Hernia incisional, Suprapubic catheterization (SPC)
