Abstract

Introduction:
The incidence of Amyand's hernia varies from 0.5–1%, whereas only 0.1% of all cases have appendicitis present in an inguinal hernia.
Case Report: A 40-year-old male presented to emergency department with incarcerated left inguinal hernia and pain over the hernia since two days. Abdominal examination was normal except for tenderness and increased temperature over the left inguinal hernia. Through an inguinoscrotal incision opening of sac revealed pus and flakes with perforated appendix. Lower midline laparotomy incision was given and found the tip of perforated appendix to lie at the left deep inguinal ring. Appendicectomy with pelvic toileting was done. Bassini repair was done in the inguinal region. Conclusion: To conclude left sided Amyand's hernia is very rare. High index of suspicion is required for diagnosis and this should be kept as a differential diagnosis for such a varied presentation. | |
