✦ Synopsis
During forced respiratory movement such as coughing, complications can occur, including abdominal muscle rupture. We report a case of spontaneous tear of the internal oblique muscle resulting from violent cough diagnosed by sonography. The physiology of cough and the possible pathophysiologic mechanism of this case is discussed.
