Amyand hernisi, apendiksin inguinal kanal içerisinde yer alması olarak tanımlanır. Bu herni Claudius Amyand tarafından ilk kez 1735 yılında tanımlanmıştır. Bu durum nadirdir ve tanısı genellikle ameliyat sırasında konur. İnguinal herni kesesi içerisinde apendiksin bulunması tedavinin komplike hale gelmesine neden olur. Amyand hernisi tanısı koyduğumuz hastayı sunduk ve literatür eşliğinde tartıştık.

A rare hernia case usually diagnosed intraoperatively: Amyand's hernia

Amyand's hernia is defined as an inguinal hernia sac containing vermiform appendix, a rare condition that was described by Claudius Amyand in 1735. The presence of the appendix in the sac complicates the management of inguinal hernias. Diagnosis of this hernia is usually made intraoperatively. We report a case of Amyand's hernia and a review of literature.
