A case report of appendicular abscess resulted in hernial sac phlegmon

Abstract

An abnormal clinical case of break of appendicular abscess in incisional ventral hernia complicated phlegmon of anterior abdominal wall is reported. The observation is of significant importance due to rare frequency of occurrence in clinical practice, formation of a dangerous complication (phlegmon of anterior abdominal wall), difficult differential diagnostics (Richter’s strangulatoin bowel or epiploon in hernia with necrosis complicated hernial sac phlegmon or break of appendicular abscess in incisional ventral hernia). The surgical management was performed followed by a patient’s recovery.
