Hérnia de amyand

Abstract

Amyand's hernia is an extremely rare surgical event. It is characterized by the presence of acute appendix in an incarcerated inguinal hernia. Its clinical presentation varies, depending on the extent of appendicular inflammation. The authors report a case of Amyand's hernia, in an 89 years-old male who had the diagnosis made intraoperatively.
