Pauper :An Amyand's hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia in which the appendix is trapped within the hernial sac. It is named after Claudius Amyand, a French surgeon who performed the first successful appendectomy in 1735 on a patient with an Amyand's hernia.
Aims of the case report: In this case report we highlight a rare case that contributes less than 1% of all inguinal hernias and how should be managed by the surgeon.
Conclusion: As a surgeons we should expect even the rarest cases although this condition may remain asymptomatic and behave like a normal inguinal hernia, as a result, this type of hernia most of the times diagnosed during the procedure
Management of this type of hernia should be individualized according to appendix's inflammation stage
