STRANGULATED LITTRE’S HERNIA: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 13
Abstract
Littre's hernia is uncommon clinical entity. We are presenting a case of Strangulated Littre's Hernia. A 19 years old male, came with pain and swelling in right inguinal region, which turned out to be an obstructed inguinal hernia with gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum. Gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum was resected and anastomosis of ileum was done. Hernial defect was repaired. Detailed review of literature reveals that although Meckel's diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, and hernias are also common, but a Strangulated Littre's Hernia (where a Meckel's diverticulum is the content of a hernial sac) is very uncommon.
