Case Report: Amyand Hernia

Abstract

Hernia is defined as the protrusion of an organ or the fascia of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. Amyand hernia is a rare form of inguinal hernia which occurs when the normal or inflamed appendix is included in the hernial sac. It is seen in approximately 1% of inguinal hernia cases. Apendix in inguinal hernia sac was first defined by Claudius Amyand in 1735 and has been named Amyand hernia in honour of him. Amyand hernia is generally diagnosed intraoperatively. In this case, a 62 year-old male patient who was diagnosed with having Amyand hernia since there was apendix vermiform in the sac and literature data are presented.
