“…In the presence of contamination, there is an absolute contraindication to the use of synthetic mesh [4]. Laparoscopic reduction has also been described in the literature [10]. There was a general consensus by most authors that a normal appendix in the hernial sac does not require appendicectomy, given that such an organ containing feces increases the risk of septic complications [9].…”

The finding of the vermiform appendix in an inguinal hernia has an incidence of approximately 1 %. The condition is given the eponymous name "Amyand's hernia." However, in just 0.08 %, the condition is complicated by an acute appendicitis. The clinical presentation varies, depending on the extent of inflammation of the appendix, and is most often misdiagnosed as an incarcerated inguinal hernia. As such, it is rarely recognized prior to surgical exploration. We report a case of Amyand's hernia in a 3-year-old child who presented as a right-sided congenital hernia with pain in the right groin. He underwent herniotomy, which revealed that the hernia sac containing elongated inflamed appendix appeared with some adhesions to sac, lying in the inguinal canal.

Amyand's hernia [AH] is a rare condition with presence of vermiform appendix in an inguinal hernia sac [1]. It is a rare entity with very difficult preoperative diagnosis that does not affect management. We herein report a neonatal gangrenous AH masking all features of underlying bowel gangrene. In neonates, a great masquerader can mask all the features of underlying bowel gangrene and delay in diagnosis can be detrimental in context of outcome. A high index of suspicion of Amyand's hernia with gangrene should be kept even if child presents with irreducible hernia without features of strangulation to prevent avoidable increase in morbidity and mortality.

Introduction: Amyand's hernia may present with the inflammation of the appendix vermiform is enclosed in its sac. Its diagnosis is very difficult in the pre-operative period, it is usually an incidental finding. Case presentation:We present a case of Amyand's hernia in an 8 year-old male who presented with an obstructed hernia having acute appendicitis within the hernia sac. Conclusion:Amyand's hernia is a rare condition yet represents two of the most common diseases a general surgeon has to face. It is difficult to diagnose preoperatively via clinical examination. Diagnosis can be aided by a high index of suspicion, and accurate interpretation of a Computed Tomography.
