Clinical presentation, imaging features and differential diagnoses of an Amyand hernia complicated by acute appendicitis.

Amyand hernias are unusual inguinal hernias that contain the vermiform appendix. Rarely, an Amyand hernia can be complicated by acute appendicitis and present a diagnostic dilemma. Herein, we present the case of a complicated Amyand hernia that was initially diagnosed as an incarcerated inguinal hernia. However, imaging later clinched the diagnosis of an Amyand hernia complicated by acute appendicitis.
