Amyand hernia is defined as hernia containing appendix as content which can range from being normal or inflamed to being gangrenous and perforated. Its occurrence is three times commoner in infants and it occurs more frequently on right side. Exact surgery to be performed in such cases is subject to the type of amyands hernia present ranging from herniorraphy and hernioplasty to laparotomy. Herein, we report the unusual case of a 70years old man who presented with left sided amyands hernia. Conclusion: Hernia is defined as protrusion of a viscus or part of viscus through an abnormal opening in the wall of its containing cavity. Inguinal hernia is the most commonly occurring variety usually containing gut or omentum. Amyand’s hernia is a rare variety of inguinal hernia comprising 1% of all presentations.1 Its defined by presence of appendix as its content which can be either normal or inflamed.2 Its three times commoner in infants and occurs more on right side.3 Here we report a unique case of left sided Amyand’s hernia diagnosed per operative in seventy year old man.

Amyand’s hernia is defined as the hernia with appendix normal, inflamed or perforated as content. 1% of inguinal hernias are Amyand’s and amongst them 0.1% contains inflamed appendix. Commonly encountered on right size due to anatomical position of appendix. Left Amyand’s is rare and associated with intestinal malrotation, situs invertus and mobile caecum. Here, we presented an interesting case of left irreducible hernia in 70 years old gentleman with no signs of acute obstruction or strangulation, patient underwent emergency laparotomy in which hernial sac contents were inflamed ileal loop, inflamed appendix and perforated caecum in 70 years old man is rare presentation and not reported in any literature as per our knowledge. Resection of inflamed bowel loop with ceacum done along with ileo ascending anastomosis with primary tissue repair done. Post-operative period was uneventful. Hernia sac contents are most of the time surprising and their management sometimes differ according to the content. Appendix in hernia sac is found in 1% of all hernia but lack of facility for the pre-operative diagnosis and varied presentation it is challenging to diagnose and operate accordingly.

Background Amyand’s hernia was an unusual condition defined by the presence of an appendix located in the inguinal hernia sac. Its prevalence was 1% of all inguinal hernia in children. The clinical manifestation of Amyand’s hernia was depending on hernia’s stage, an incarcerated hernia will present with an inguinal mass following by pain and motility disorder. It could lead to abdominal distention in the late stage. The common location of Amyand’s hernia was on the right side, the left side was uncommon. Early feeding on infants could provoke symptoms of bowel obstruction (SBO). More than 76% of infants in Java, Indonesia was given banana as solid food in infants before six months old. There is a correlation between the early banana diet and SBO. Amyand’s hernia could present as morbidity of early banana diet. Case presentation We describe a case of two months old infant present with an incarcerated left inguinal hernia and history of early banana diet that performed herniotomy procedure. During the operation, we found left-side incarcerated Amyand’s hernia with appendicitis, excoriation caecum, and sticky banana mass. Conclusion This case suggest the possibility of early feeding of banana diet may provoke incarceration of an inguinal hernia and if the incarcerated hernia content contains the appendix, then an Amyand's hernia.
