Incarcerated Littré's Hernia: A Case Report

Abstract

The presence of a Meckel's diverticulum centrally to a hernia sac is called Littre's hernia, which is a case with few published reports in the literature. It is usually asymptomatic, however, when it causes symptoms, the clinical appearance is variable and the diagnosis is often made during the intraoperative period. This present study exposes a case of Littré's hernia incarcerated in a 77-year-old male patient treated at the Hospital Escola de Valença, with the outcome of the case through the analysis of the medical record and bibliographic research.
