Amyand's hernia with perforated appendix and scrotal abscess in a premature newborn
Abstract
An Amyand's hernia is an unusual diagnosis in children and even rarer in neonates. Perforation of the appendix inside the hernia sac is also extremely unusual. The diagnosis of an Amyand's hernia is difficult as presenting symptoms can also be attributed to an isolated inguinal hernia, noncommunicating hydrocele, or testicular torsion. We present a case of an Amyand's hernia with perforated appendix and scrotal abscess in a premature newborn.
