Littre’s umbilical hernia (UH) is a rare disease, the third most common Littre hernia. Most case reports interest adult patients. We reported the case of a four-year-old girl with anemia and symptomatic UH, with an incidentally diagnosed Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) containing pancreatic ectopic tissue. We reviewed case reports on Littre’s umbilical hernia without a date or language restriction. Including our patient, 21 cases were reviewed, of whom 15 (71.4%) were adults and 13 (61.9%) were males. Complicated umbilical hernia occurred in 13 patients (61.9%) and symptomatic MD in two children (9.5%). Investigations preoperatively diagnosed two patients (9.5%). Eighteen patients (85.7%) underwent open surgery, Meckel’s diverticulum removal was performed in 18 patients (85.7%), and primary umbilical hernia repair was performed in 16 (76.2%). Ectopic tissue was present in four patients (19.1%), and long-term outcomes were excellent in all patients.

Meckel’s diverticulum is a common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, which remains asymptomatic unless some complications occur. Littre’s hernia is a rare complication of Meckel’s diverticulum, where it herniates into the hernial sac. It is difficult to diagnose this condition preoperatively. Strangulation and incarceration are common, which may lead to necrosis and perforation of Meckel’s diverticulum. In this report, we describe the successful management of a boy in his early childhood presenting with an irreducible and strangulated right inguinal hernia, which turned out to be Littre’s hernia on exploration. Additionally, we conducted a literature review using Google Scholar and PubMed to identify publications on Littre’s hernia in paediatric patients.

Hérnia de Littre é uma apresentação rara caracterizada por um divertículo de Meckel dentro de uma hérnia, podendo ser umbilical, femoral e inguinal. O caso apresentado revela uma paciente de 83 anos com parada de eliminação de fezes e abaulamento em região umbilical, e durante tomografia de abdome foi identificada uma hérnia encarcerada. Foi submetida a enterectomia e identificaram a hérnia de Littre durante o período intraoperatório. A ressecção do divertículo de Meckel é importante para prevenir complicações, como obstrução intestinal, hemorragia e perfuração e deve-se levar em conta essa apresentação potencialmente grave para pacientes com hérnias.
