[Acute appendicitis due to Claudius Amyand's hernia in a newborn with intestinal obstruction].
Claudius Amyand's hernia is defined as the incarceration of the vermiform appendix in the hernia sac. The first reported appendicectomy was performed in 1735. It is very rare among children, hence its frequency is not yet established. We report the case of a 22-day old new born with untreated simple inguinoscrotal hernia who had an urgent admission to the Emergency Department due to occlusive syndrome with no evacuation of faeces and no passing of flatus, inflammatory inguinoscrotal swelling and bilious vomiting persisting for 2 days. Treatment was based on the restoration to good health and on preanesthetic assessment. Intraoperative exploration showed necrotic bulging appendix in its distal half with false membranes. Appendectomy was performed with closure of the hernia sac. Patient's evolution was marked by resumption of intestinal transit 24h after surgery.
