A rare case of amyand's hernia: appendicitis in an incarcerated inguinal hernia sac

The presence of the appendix vermiformis in inguinal hernia sac is defined as "Amyand hernia". The incidence of a normal appendix within an inguinal hernia sac is estimated to be approximately 1%, whereas acute appendicitis presenting in an inguinal hernia is an uncommon event. Diagnosis of Amyand's hernia is usually made intraoperatively. This is the report of a case of Amyand's hernia where the appendix was found within the hernial sac during surgery for an incarcerated inguinale hernia in a 55 year old male patient. In conclusion, acute appendicitis within an Amyand hernia can be life threatening and the patients always require emergency surgery
