Littre hernia is defined as the presence of a Meckel diverticulum in any hernial sac. We report a 19 years old male that consulted in an emergency hospital due to a painful lump in the right inguinal region after a blunt trauma. He was operated and a loop of terminal ileon with a Meckel diverticulum of approximately 12 cm. was found in the hernial sac. The segment that contained the diverticulum was excised and the hernial sac was repaired. The patient was discharged three days later in good conditions.

“…Im Jahre 1841 veröffentlicht der Batallionsarzt zu Stendal, Dr. C. F. Riecke, in der Wochenschrift für die gesamte Heilkunde einen ähnlichen Fall wie LittrØ im Jahre 1700 [15]. Wohl des-halb ist es zu erklären, daû in allen anglo-amerikanischen Arbeiten einheitlich die LittrØ-Hernie als Darmanhangsbruch und die Richter-Hernie als Darmwandbruch bezeichnet werden [1±6, 9,18,19,21]. Diese Unterscheidung wurde im folgenden auch durch den englischen Chirurgen Sir Frederic Treves im Jahre 1887 gemacht, der einen Darmwandbruch operativ behandelte und diesen Bruch erstmals als Richter-Hernie bezeichnete [20].…”

In 1700, the French surgeon Alexandre de Littré described for the first time a new form of inguinal hernia. This hernia varied from the known forms of hernias in its clinical course and in the postmortem examination results performed by Littrè himself. The characteristic feature of this hernia was the fact that the entire circumference of the bowel wall was not part of the hernial sac, but only the antimesenteric part of the intestinal wall. The underlying pathomechanism was explained 100 years later by Meckel. In a scientific paper about hernias some years earlier, Richter described the intestinal wall hernia, and this initiated the confusing use of the clinical entity known as the Richter-Littré hernia in Germany. In this case report we describe the historic development of this entity.
