<jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p>Six cases of interparietal hernia in five females and one male, age range 48–70 years, average 52 years, are presented together with a review of the literature.</jats:p><jats:p>Two of the cases had emergency surgical repair for strangulated hernia with one postoperative death. There were no deaths in the four patients who had elective hernia repairs.</jats:p><jats:p>The incidence of interparietal hernia in this study is 2.5 per cent with the interstitial variety accounting for 83 per cent of the cases. Each interparietal hernia resulted from a direct inguinal hernia. The differential strengths of the various layers of the anterior abdominal wall, the strongest being the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, are believed to be a factor causing the interstitial burrowing of these hernias.</jats:p>
