%X A case of a 30 year-old black, female patient, born in Angola, Africa with past history of multiple miscarriages is presented. She stated that the last pregnancy she had had abdominal pain, as well as some other less common discomfort. A great umbilical hernia defect was detected which affected the pregnant uterus and other abdominal viscera. It was necessary to admit the patient into the hospital during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy until the cesarean surgery and the hernia reparation was performed. The mother and infant developed satisfactorily and were discharged from the hospital. They were followed up in consultations to which they never assisted. The low frequency of occurrence of this association which was corroborated by means of national as well as international bibliographical revision. This led us to prepare this report. Se describe el caso de una paciente de raza negra, de 30 a os de edad, natura de Angola, con antecedentes de m¨²ltiples abortos espont¨¢neos, que durante su ¨²ltimo embarazo hab¨ªa presentado dolores abdominales frecuentes, adem¨¢s de otras molestias poco comunes. Se detect¨® un gran defecto herniario umbilical, que afectaba el ¨²tero gr¨¢vido y otras v¨ªsceras abdominales. Para llevar el embarazo a t¨¦rmino fue necesario ingresar a la paciente durante las ¨²ltimas 10 semanas de embarazo, hasta la realizaci¨®n de la ces¨¢rea y la cirug¨ªa de reparaci¨®n de la hernia. Tanto la madre como el ni o evolucionaron satisfactoriamente, siendo dados de alta con citaci¨®n para consultas de seguimiento posterior a la cual no acudieron nunca. La escasa frecuencia con que se presenta esta asociaci¨®n, lo cual fue corroborado mediante la revisi¨®n de la literatura nacional e internacional, es lo que condujo a la realizaci¨®n del presente informe.
