Meckel diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract that is generally asymptomatic and only manifests in a specific way when complications exist. An unusual complication of MD is known as Littre hernia. It comprises less than 1% of all MD. Littre hernia is the protrusion of an MD through a potential abdominal opening. Usual sites of Littre hernia are right inguinal (50% of cases), umbilical hernia (20%), and femoral hernia (20%). We report a case of Littre hernia in a boy who presented with acute scrotal pain and swelling.
梅克尔憩室(MD)是胃肠道最常见的先天性异常,通常无症状,仅在出现并发症时才以特定方式表现出来。MD的一种罕见并发症称为利特尔疝。它在所有MD中占比不到1%。利特尔疝是指MD通过潜在的腹部开口突出。利特尔疝的常见部位是右侧腹股沟(50%的病例)、脐疝(20%)和股疝(20%)。我们报告一例患急性阴囊疼痛和肿胀的男孩的利特尔疝病例。
