Incarcerated recurrent inguinal hernia with covered and perforated appendicitis and periappendicular abscess: case report and review of the literature

M A Kueper et al. Hernia. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with a covered and perforated appendicitis and periappendicular abscess within the hernial sac (Amyand's hernia) of an incarcerated recurrent inguinal hernia after primary Shouldice repair. Initially, a preoperative CT-scan showed signs of an incarcerated femoral hernia. This would be the first reported case of an incarcerated recurrent Amyand's hernia, which is an extremely rare condition.
