Abstract

The presence of vermiform appendix as the content of inguinal hernia is termed Amyand's hernia (AH). It is a very rare entity as most of the time contents of hernia are omentum and small bowel. Very often AH is asymptomatic and diagnosed intra-operatively. Amyand's hernia (AH) is classified into four sub-types depending on clinical features and the status of the appendix. But this time we encountered per-operatively entirety different findings of Amyand's hernia. Treatment of Obstructed inguinal hernia is only surgery, but dealing with Amyand's hernia (AH) is based on the patient condition and type of Amyand's hernia. So, treatment of this hernia remains controversial, different strategies should be applied to different case.
