Amyand’s Hernia Mimicking Acute Scrotum
Yıldız, Fahrettin; Terzi, Alpaslan; Çoban, Saçid & Uzunkoy, Ali
Abstract
Amyand’s hernia is an inguinal hernia with an appendix involved.
It is a rare condition. Perforated appendicitis is much less common
in this situation and very few cases have been reported in the
literature. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. If additional pathologies
exist, the diagnosis is more troublesome. We aimed to present
a patient with Amyand’s hernia mimicking acute scrotum which is
rare in the literature.
Keywords
