Left sided Amyand's hernia.
Appendicitis within an Amyand's hernia is a rare clinical entity in itself and becomes especially more rare if it occurs in the left inguinal region. We report this rare case of Amyand's hernia where the appendix was found along with gangrenous ceacum during surgery for strangulated left inguinal hernia in an adult, who underwent resection, anastomosis and simple repair for his hernia.
