A De Garengeot's hernia is the very rare dual pathology of a vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia.
We discuss the rare case of a 62 year old female who presented as an emergency with a strangulated femoral hernia. Within the hernia sac a partly necrotic vermiform appendix was discovered. The patient successfully underwent an appendicectomy and repair of her femoral hernia. The post-operative period was uneventful, with no further issues at follow-up.
Our case report displays the successful treatment of a De Garengeot's hernia as an emergency admission, with a shorter than average admission time, and no post-operative complications.
This is a rare case of dual pathology, of which we believe there are few published cases.
加朗若疝(De Garengeot's hernia)是一种极为罕见的双重病理情况,即股疝内伴有阑尾。
我们讨论了一名62岁女性的罕见病例,该患者因绞窄性股疝急诊入院。在疝囊内发现了部分坏死的阑尾。患者成功接受了阑尾切除术及股疝修补术。术后恢复顺利,随访期间未出现进一步问题。
我们的病例报告显示,作为急诊入院的加朗若疝得到了成功治疗,住院时间短于平均水平,且无术后并发症。
这是一例双重病理的罕见病例,我们认为已发表的病例很少。
