Acute appendicitis in an incarcerated inguinal hernia

S L Bannister et al. J Natl Med Assoc. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

A preterm infant with acute appendicitis in an incarcerated inguinal hernia is described. We suggest that extraluminal compression of the neck of a hernial sac caused by incarceration may be a predisposing factor for appendicitis.
