Neonatal acute appendicitis: a strangulated appendix in an incarcerated inguinal hernia

J L Martins et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2001 Nov.

Abstract

A 4-day-old infant with acute appendicitis (AA) due to incarceration of a right inguinal hernia is presented. Although appendicitis is the most common condition requiring abdominal surgery, the reported occurrence of AA subsequent to neonatal hernia incarceration is exceptionally rare.
