ABSTRACT

The presence of an inguinal hernial sac occupied by an inflamed cecal appendix is known in scientific literature as Amyand's hernia. The description dates back to 1735 when Claudius Amyand performed the first satisfactory appendicectomy in a 11 years-old boy. The incidence of this disease is rare at pediatric ages and is usually diagnosed in the course of evaluation of a complicated inguinal hernia. This is a 7 months-old patient who was attended to and treated in our institution and additionally, a literature review on this entity was made.
