The finding of an appendix in the hernial sac is a rare entity known as Amyand's hernia. It is even more rare when it occurs on the left side. We report a rare presentation of Amyand's hernia, where the appendix was found inflamed during surgery for a left sided obstructed inguinal hernia in a 40 years old male. The patient underwent appendicectomy and repair of the hernial sac and had an uneventful recovery. The possibility of the presence of a situs inversus or malrotation, as an underlying cause for the observed pathology, was excluded by X-ray examination.
在疝囊内发现阑尾是一种罕见的情况，称为艾米安德疝。当它发生在左侧时更为罕见。我们报告了一例罕见的艾米安德疝病例，一名40岁男性因左侧腹股沟嵌顿疝接受手术时，术中发现阑尾发炎。患者接受了阑尾切除术和疝囊修补术，术后恢复顺利。通过X线检查排除了内脏反位或旋转不良作为观察到的病理情况的潜在原因。
