Amyand Hernia

Amyand’s hernia is an inguinal hernia with trapped appendix; its frequency is approximately 1%. Acute appendicitis is a rare clinical presentation (0.1%) of Amyand’s hernia. It was first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735. We report a patient of Amyand’s hernia, three years of age, presented with right inguinoscrotal hernia. Right side groin discomfort was present. Herniotomy was performed revealing anon-inflamed appendix within the inguinal canal for which a classic appendectomy was done.

The eponym ‘Amyand hernia’ coined in recognition of Claudius Amyand, the first surgeon to successfully perform appendectomy in a hernia sac containing appendix, refers to the vermiform appendix within inguinal hernia. Here, we present a rare case, of Amyand’s hernia in an 18 month-old boy who was brought with an inguino-scortal swelling which later on exploration was left sided Amyand’s hernia with sliding component. Amyand’s hernia is not very often seen in the clinical practice and its pre-operative diagnosis is very difficult hence awareness of this disease condition is essential for preoperative suspicion and even diagnosis of the condition. Keywords: Amyand’s hernia; acute appendicitis; hernial repair.

Individualized Management

Acute appendicitis in a hernia sac occurs exceptionally. An 80-year-old male patient underwent emergency surgery for an incarcerated right inguinal hernia found to contain a gangrenous appendix. His brief improvement after an emergency herniotomy with appendectomy was followed by intestinal obstruction caused by advanced colon cancer. The unique features and individualized management of the four published types of Amyand hernia are reviewed. Rather than simply being an anatomical curiosity, Amyand hernias require individualized attention to decide how to manage both the appendix and the hernia. Clinical scrutiny, a high index of suspicion for surgical comorbidities, and a common sense approach may improve outcomes.

Amyand Hernia

Individually, inguinal hernias and acute appendicitis are common, but the combination of the two, acute appendicitis within an inguinal hernia or Amyand hernia (AH), is rare. The overwhelming majority of AH cases are in males and discovered during surgery. To date, only three case reports in the literature of this pathology have been diagnosed with sonography. This is a report of an AH diagnosed in a woman with sonography.

De Garengeot Hernia

Many surgeons are familiar with Amyand hernia, which is an inguinal hernia sac containing an appendix. However, few surgeons know of the contribution of Rene Jacques Croissant de Garengeot, an 18th century Parisian surgeon, to hernias. He is quoted in the literature as the first to describe the appendix in a femoral hernia sac. We discuss the case of an 81-year-old woman who presented with appendicitis within a femoral hernia, a rare finding at surgery that is almost never diagnosed preoperatively. We also propose crediting Croissant de Garengeot by naming this condition after him. Although his full last name is Croissant de Garengeot, for convenience we suggest the simple diagnosis of “de Garengeot hernia.”
