It has been described in conjunction with cecal perforation, cholecystitis and ureterolithiasis. Yet, its association with acute sigmoid diverticulitis has never been reported before.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 57-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute abdomen and an indurated right inguinal mass. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan reported a giant inflamed sigmoid diverticulum and an Amyand's hernia with a complicated appendicitis. The patient was taken to the operating room and a midline laparotomy incision was made. A giant sigmoid diverticulum with ischemic patches was encountered. The cecal appendix was found inside the right inguinal canal, with a perforation in its distal third. A Hartmann's procedure, appendicectomy and non-mesh inguinal hernia repair was accomplished.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Case reports of Amyand's hernia in patients with simultaneous abdominal conditions are scarce. Symptoms in these patients could be various and may lead to preoperative imaging and diagnosis. In this case acute abdomen in physical examination demanded imaging analysis and a preoperative diagnosis of acute diverticulitis and Amyand's hernia with a perforated appendicitis was made.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Amyand's hernia with acute perforated appendicitis is a rare entity. CT scan is useful for diagnosis of Amyand's hernia and associated conditions. Preoperative diagnosis of Amyand's hernia and concomitant abdominal disease aids in the therapeutic approach and management. To our knowledge this is the first case report of an Amyand's hernia in a patient with acute diverticulitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2023.108972","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,24]],"date-time":"2023-10-24T17:12:04Z","timestamp":1698167524000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Amyand's hernia in a patient with acute complicated diverticulitis.
