Appendicitis and Meckel's diverticulum in a femoral hernia: simultaneous De Garengeot and Littre's hernia

A W Phillips et al. Hernia. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

This report presents the case of a 73-year-old woman who was admitted with sepsis, cachexia and confusion secondary to a strangulated femoral hernia containing both the appendix (De Garengeot hernia) and a Meckel's diverticulum (Littre's hernia). She underwent successful operative management and was discharged from hospital on the 10th post-operative day. This is the first report in the literature of a combined De Garengeot and Littre's hernia within a femoral hernia sac.
