Claudius Amyand Hernia: Reports of 2 Cases: Hospital Fousseyni Dao of Kayes/MALI

The incarceration of the vermicular appendage through the hernia sac is commonly referred to as Claudius Amyand's hernia. It is a rare and exceptional pathology in children providing an acute scrutum. We report the case of a 7-month-old boy with an acute scrotum due to a strangulated inguno scrotal hernia who admitted to pediatric emergencies. The management consisted in a conditioning and a preoperative assessment. An exploration having revealed in the hernia sac an appendix of normal appearance. An appendectomy and a closure of the hernia sac was done. Evolution was uneventful.
