We report the case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with an irreducible right inguinal swelling accompanied by severe right lower abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed an inflamed appendix within the hernial sac, consistent with a strangulated AH. The patient underwent appendectomy along with hernia repair, with an uneventful postoperative recovery. Although acute appendicitis within an AH is typically identified intraoperatively, advances in imaging (particularly CT scanning) allow accurate preoperative diagnosis and facilitate appropriate surgical planning. Management should be tailored according to Losanoff and Basson\u2019s classification, with appendectomy and hernia repair being an effective approach for type II AH cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag191","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,22]],"date-time":"2026-03-22T17:10:23Z","timestamp":1774199423000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Preoperative
