Primary midline abdominal wall hernia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1527015557

Umbilical (navel), para-umbilical, supra-umbilical and epigastric hernias are called primary midline abdominal wall hernia. These hernias always occur in the middle, that is, straight down the middle, because they come out between the two rectus muscles. Primary midline abdominal hernias occur spontaneously and are not associated with a fascial scar or related to a trauma.
