In adults
Umbilical hernias in adults are largely acquired, and more frequent in pregnant women. Abnormal decussation of fibers at the linea alba may contribute.
It is theorized that cutting the umbilical at birth is a cause of umbilical hernia. Allowing the umbilical cord to fall off naturally may eliminate chance of umbilical hernia in infants.
Umbilical hernia has been reported as a complication of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.[1]
