| Popis: |
We report an extremely rare case of an incarcerated and perforated appendicitis within an inguinal hernia in an infant. A 3,5-month-old was admitted with clinical signs of incarcerated right inguinal hernia and localized tenderness and hyperemia in the right inguinal region. He underwent emergency surgery and the operative findings included an in flamed appendix. Although perforated appendicitis in an inguinal hernia was reported as complicated Amyand's hernia in adults, a few cases under one year old with perforated appendicitis in an inguinal hernia have been reported in the literature. We point out the need to consider perforated appendicitis in the differential diagnosis of incarcerated right inguinal hernia in infants. Copyright © 2010 by Türkiye Klinikleri. |
