title: An incarcerated appendix and the ileocecum within a left inguinal hernia in an infant.
abstract: An 8-month-old boy with a left-sided incarcerated inguinal hernia involving the appendix, cecum, and terminal ileum was successfully managed via an inguinal approach during an emergency operation. A mobile cecum seemed to have contributed to the left-sided incarceration. Only 13 similar cases with the left-sided Amyand's hernia have been reported in the literature.
