Abstract

Amyand herni, apendiks vermiformisin fıtık kesesi içinde bulunması olarak tanımlanan nadir bir durumdur. İnsidansı tüm inguinal herniler içinde %1 (%0,19-1,7)’dir. İnguinal kese içindeki apendiksin inflamasyonu daha nadirdir, tüm Amyand herni vakalarının % 0,1 (0,07-0,13)'ini oluşturur. Hastalığın kliniği apendiksin inflamasyonuna bağlı olarak değişmekle birlikte tanı genellikle operasyon esnasında konur. Bu çalışmada sağ inguinal herni nedeniyle operasyona alınan, operasyon esnasında kese duvarına yapışık, apendiks distalinde inflamasyon bulguları olması nedeniyle apendektomi yapılan 2 aylık bir erkek hasta sunuldu.

An unusual inguinal hernia presentation in an infant: Amyand's hernia with acute appendicitis

Abstract

Amyand's hernia is a rare condition defined as the presence of appendix vermiformis within the hernia sac, and it constitutes 1% (0.19-1.7%) of all inguinal hernias. Inflammation of the appendix within the inguinal sac is rarer, comprising 0.1% (0.07-0.13) of all Amyand’s hernia cases. Although the clinical presentation of the disease varies depending on the inflammation of the appendix, the diagnosis is usually made during the operation. We herein present a 2-month-old male patient who underwent appendectomy during right inguinal herniotomy after visualization of the inflamed appendix adhering to the wall of the hernia sac.
