Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 18
Abstract
: Inguinal Hernia is a very common clinical entity with varied presentations. We are presenting four unusual cases of inguinal hernias , who came to us at The Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Postgraduate Institute at Indore. Out of the four cases three presented with incarcerated inguinal hernias in emergency, while one was a routine case. They presented with following unusual features ; (1)Strangulated Meckel's Diverticulum as content (2) Inflamed Appendix Vermicularis as content (3) Strangulated omentum showed metastasis of a hidden intraabdominal adenocarcinoma (4) Beaded hernial sac which revealed mesothelial hyperplasia on histopathology. Abdominal hernia is the result of abnormal protrusion of abdominal content through a defect in the abdominal wall. Its treatment is the surgical repair of the defect with satisfactory results. Although these unusual presentations of contents have no implications on the outcome of its surgical repair, but one should be aware of such possibility at exploration. We have presented these cases with review of literature as it will be beneficial to all .
