Amyand's Hernia: A Case of an Unusual Inguinal Herniace.

An inguinal hernia containing appendix is termed an Amyand's hernia. It is an uncommon and rare condition estimated to be found in approximately 1 % of adult inguinal hernia repairs. Depending on the extent of inflammation in the hernia sac and obstruction of hernia, clinical presentation can vary. We report a case of Amyand's hernia in a 22-year-old male who presented with history of right inguinal hernia for 6 months duration. Operation revealed hernia sac containing inflamed appendix hence appendectomy was performed.
