Amyand's hernia was coined after Claudius Amyand (1660-1740), who was the first to describe the presence of a perforated appendix in a hernial sac and also was the first to perform a successful appendectomy in 1735. It is an exceptionally rare condition in which the hernia itself contains the appendix, which may not necessarily be inflamed. The presence of an inflamed appendix further contributes to the rarity of this case. We report a case of acute appendicitis brought on by its incarceration in the inguinal hernia.
艾米安德疝是以克劳迪乌斯·艾米安德(1660 - 1740)的名字命名的,他是第一个描述疝囊内存在穿孔阑尾的人,也是1735年第一个成功进行阑尾切除术的人。这是一种极其罕见的病症,即疝囊本身包含阑尾,阑尾不一定会发炎。发炎阑尾的存在进一步增加了这种病例的罕见性。我们报告一例因腹股沟疝嵌顿引发急性阑尾炎的病例。
