“…In children, most of the cases are usually umbilical [19], but our patient presented with a right scrotal inguinal LH, which correlates with the literature. Most cases of LH become symptomatic before two years of age, while in older children clinical findings might relate with those of an acute abdominal hernia [1]. Our subject presented with none of the gastrointestinal symptoms which are expected with an LH clinical presentation.…”

“…In children, MD is typically located in the antimesenteric border of the distal ileum, 30-60 cm distal to Bauhin's valve [17]. Intestinal bleeding presents in about 55% of pediatric patients and the most common cause is related to the heterotopic gastric mucosa of the MD, implicated in 90% of cases [1, 15, 16]. Our patient presented with an MD in the same anatomic location but without clinical features or complications, and it was an incidental finding during the right scrotal inguinal hernia repair.…”

“…The word hernia comes from the Greek words “ epivos ” (excrescence) and “ hira ” (intestine) [1]. A hernia is the partial or complete protrusion of the gut through an abdominal wall defect, and inguinal hernias are the most common presentations across all genders.…”

“…Littre's hernia (LH) is a similar condition but is defined by the presence of a Meckel diverticulum (MD) inside a hernial sac as opposed to the cecal appendix [1, 6, 7]. It is an extremely rare condition, with less than 50 cases reported in the last three hundred years [8], and present in only 1% of all cases of MD, which is itself a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct, containing all the layers of the intestinal wall with the histological peculiarity of ectopic gastric and pancreatic mucosa [9].…”

“…The MD was defined by Fabricius Hildanus in 1598, and in 1700, the French surgeon Alexis de Littré published the first case of an MD, referring to it as “an ileal diverticulum consequence of the traction made on the ileum.” It was not until 1809 that Johan Friedriech Meckel described the existing relationship between the MD and the omphalomesenteric duct [1]. The term LH was established by Reinke in 1841, as he reported the presence of a “Meckel's diverticulum inside any hernial sac” [9].…”

Introduction. Inguinal hernia is the most common condition in both male and female subjects. Amyand’s hernia is characterized by the presence of the cecal appendix, swollen or not, inside the inguinal hernia sac. It is a rare condition and represents 1% of all the inguinal hernia pathology. Littre’s hernia (LH) is a condition defined by the presence of a Meckel diverticulum (MD) inside a hernial sac. It is an extremely rare condition, with less than 50 cases reported in the last three hundred years, present in only 1% of all diagnosed MD. Case Presentation. A six-year-old male patient presented with a history of two bilateral protruding masses in the inguinal-scrotal region that have continued to grow since birth. No gastrointestinal symptoms were reported. Physical examination showed a bilateral inguinoscrotal mass which increased in size during the Valsalva maneuver. Surgical intervention was carried out with a bilateral hernia repair being performed under an anterior method, the surgical invagination of the MD within the small intestine and the appendix within the caecum. Conclusion. Both entities should be considered as a differential diagnosis when it comes to a pediatric patient with unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernias with an uncertain etiology, allowing an early diagnosis and prompt treatment. We present here the first recorded case of both Amyand’s hernia and Littre’s hernia presenting simultaneously in a pediatric patient.

Obstructed Inguinal Littre’s Hernia: A Vague Presentation

Littre's hernia (LH) is a very rare presentation in patients presenting with hernias. It is the presence of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) in a hernia sac. However, it usually presents with obstruction or strangulation. We are reporting here a case of Littre's hernia in a 42-year-old male patient who presented with an irreducible swelling in the left inguinal region. The diagnosis of an incarcerated indirect inguinal hernia was made preoperatively. Intraoperative finding was however an obstructed Littre's hernia with Meckel's diverticulum in a very uniquely appearing hernia sac. The patient was successfully managed by resection of the MD along with ileal segment, primary anastomosis, and mesh hernioplasty on the inguinal floor.

Introducción. La hernia de Garengeot se caracteriza por contener el apéndice cecal dentro del saco femoral, y forma parte de una variedad de hernias que reciben el epónimo de acuerdo con su localización anatómica. Entre ellas se encuentra la hernia de Richter, la hernia de Amyand, la hernia de Littré y la hernia de Spiegel. Se presenta una revisión de los abordajes laparoscópicos para estas diversas variantes. Caso clínico. Paciente femenina de 82 años de edad quien consultó al servicio de urgencias por dolor inguinal derecho de ocho días de evolución, asociado a clínica de obstrucción intestinal. Se hizo diagnóstico de hernia inguinal encarcelada y se llevó a cirugía encontrando una hernia de Garengeot. Discusión. Además de los tipos de hernia tradicionalmente conocidos, existen variantes inusuales de hernias de la pared abdominal, que deben ser sospechadas y tenidas en cuenta como diagnóstico diferencial, lo que permitirá realizar su tratamiento de forma oportuna disminuyendo el riesgo de que ocurra una perforación intestinal. Conclusiones. Las variantes de hernia inguinal o de localización inusual, son susceptibles de tratamiento quirúrgico mediante abordajes laparoscópicos con adecuados resultados.
