ABSTRACT

Amyand’s hernia is an inguinal hernia with an appendix involved. It has been approximately found in 1% of cases of inguinal hernias. Preoperative diagnosis of this rare condition is almost impossible. We are presenting; an Amyand’s hernia where the acute appendicitis was found within the hernial sac during surgery for an incarcerated inguinal hernia.
