Abstract

Amyand hernia is a rare condition in which a normal or inflamed appendix is present in the inguinal hernia sac. The incidence of amyand hernia is about 1% of all inguinal hernia cases. The presence of appendix vermiformis in the inguinal hernia sac was first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735. Amyand hernia diagnosis is usually made intraoperatively. Amyand hernia treatment modalities are still controversial today. In this case, we present a 64-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with Amyand's hernia and acute appendicitis in the preoperative period.

Özet

İnguinal herni kesesi içerisinde apendiks vermiformis varlığı ilk kez 1735 yılında Claudius Amyand tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Amyand herni tanısı genellikle intraoperatif olarak konulmaktadır. Ayrıca Amyand hernisi tedavi modaliteleri günümüzde halen tartışma konusu olmaktadır. Bu olguda Amyand herni ve akut apandisit tanısı alan, ameliyat edilen 64 yaşında erkek hasta ve literatür bilgileri sunulmaktadır
