Inguinal hernia with acute appendicitis known as Amyand’s hernia is uncommon. It may clinically manifest as acute scrotum, inguinal lymphadenitis, or strangulated hernia. The presentation of Amyand’s hernia with acute scrotum has been rarely described. Also, the manifestation of infarcted omentum in the inguinal hernia has been described in one case previously. However, the coexistence of perforated appendix with infarcted omentum in the hernia sac which manifests acute scrotum has not been described previously. Herein, we described a case of a 5-year-old boy, admitted with right tense, painful, and erythematous scrotum in the emergency room. The diagnosis of herniated appendicitis was performed preoperatively by ultrasound. Moreover, the ischemic omentum was confirmed during surgery.

Acute diverticulitis may present with an abscess that is usually pericolonic or pelvic and can be treated with urgent surgery or percutaneous drainage. We present a case of a diverticular abscess presenting as a left inguinal hernia. This is analogous to an Amyand's hernia in which an inflamed appendix is found in a right inguinal hernia. The patient presented was managed with open drainage of the hernia and subsequent laparoscopic sigmoid resection in the same hospitalization.

Amyand Hernia

Left Amyand Hernia (AH) is a very rare form of inguinal hernia. It presents commonly as an incarcerated inguinal hernia and intraoperative diagnosis is usually the rule. This is a report of a 7 months old male infant presenting with bilateral inguinal hernia, including a complicated left AH, with associated mobile caecum and meatal stenosis. He had bilateral herniotomy, transhernial appendectomy and meatotomy and did well post-operatively. A comprehensive comparative review of all 35 reported cases of left AH in the literature was undertaken alongside this report.

Points Of View

Background. Amyand’s hernia (AH) is an inguinal hernia containing the vermiform appendix, with an incidence between 0.4% and 1% of all inguinal hernias. Acute or perforated appendicitis can complicate AH. Case Presentation. A 75-year-old Caucasian man presented with incarceration of vermiform appendix in inguinal hernia sac. Diagnosis was posed preoperatively with computed tomography (CT) scan. Patient underwent urgent surgery and simultaneous appendectomy and hernia repair by Bassini’s technique were performed. Conclusions. Preoperative diagnosis of AH is rare; however it could be useful for surgeon to choose operative approach. Treatment of AH depends on grade of appendix inflammation and/or perforation. The technique utilized to repair hernia depends largely on surgeon’s preferences; the presence of inflamed or perforated appendix is not an absolute contraindication for using a prosthetic mesh.

The Right

A 26-week-old extreme preterm boy presented with a right hemiscrotal abscess. An ultrasound of the scrotum suggested right epididymo-orchitis. The abscess was drained and appropriate intravenous antibiotics were initiated. One month later, he was diagnosed with a right sided irreducible inguino-scrotal swelling, confirmed as bilateral inguinal hernia with herniating bowel loop on ultrasonography. With this diagnosis, he was planned to undergo a bilateral herniotomy. Intraoperatively, an inflamed and perforated appendix was found herniating into the right sac. The tip of the appendix was adherent to the scrotal wall, where the pus was extruding out. Appendicectomy and bilateral herniotomy was done successfully and histopathology revealed acute appendicitis. Baby recovered well postoperatively. Owing to the fragile nature of tissues in neonates, accession of planes was challenging. Amyand’s hernia presenting as a scrotal abscess is extremely rare in newborn infants, and less than 5 cases have been reported till date.

This is a report of a 7 months old male infant presenting with bilateral inguinal hernia, including a complicated left AH, with associated mobile caecum and meatal stenosis. He had bilateral herniotomy, transhernial appendectomy and meatotomy and did well post-operatively. A comprehensive comparative review of all 35 reported cases of left AH in the literature was undertaken alongside this report.

Separate Incision

Amyand’s hernia is a rare form of hernia in which the vermiform appendix is present within the inguinal hernia sac. Here, we report a 12 days-old neonate with features of inguinal abscess referred to us with a tender irreducible right inguino-scrotal swelling. On examination, there was tender swelling right inguino-scrotal region with abdominal wall edema extending up to right lower quadrant. Surgical exploration showed long appendix with a gangrenous 1/3 of distal appendix, peri-appendicular abscess in the inguinal hernia sac. Appendectomy and right herniotomy was performed. Amyand’s hernia presentation is variable: from a reducible inguinal hernia containing a normal appendix, to acute abdomen due to perforation of acute appendicitis secondary to incarceration. Only imaging can verify the contents of an incarcerated inguinal hernia. Surgical approach varies depending upon findings. In our case, we used separate incision for appendectomy because of a very long appendix and high lying caecum in right hypochondrium with difficulty to bring base of appendix down for ligation.
