Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

Introduction: Amyand's hernia (AH) is a very rare condition and occurs when the cecal appendix is located within an inguinal hernia.Clinical case: 15-month-old male with a history of right inguinal hernia, who had been scheduled for surgical correction.He was admitted to the emergency room due to a mass in the right inguinal region associated with pain and irritability; during the physical examination, an incarcerated hernia is diagnosed because it cannot be reduced, requiring immediate surgical intervention.Regarding the surgical findings, it was confirmed that the inguinoscrotal hernia was incarcerated, identifying the terminal ileum, cecum, and cecal appendix inside.Appendectomy and high ligation of the vaginal peritoneum duct is performed.The patient progressed favorably.Conclusion: there are few published cases of incarcerated AH.We hope that this article will serve for the timely detection of similar cases to improve their prognosis.
