Abstract :
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.
