Abstract
Claudius Amyand's hernia is defined by the incarceration of the vermicular appendix through the hernial sac. The first appendectomy was performed in 1735. It is a very rare condition in children. As a result, the frequency of this condition has not yet been established. We report the case of a 05-year-old child with an inguinal hernia admitted to the emergency department for the management of a painful and inflammatory inguinal-scrotal swelling that had been evolving for less than 6 hours. Management consisted of a conditioning and pre-anaesthetic assessment. Intraoperative exploration revealed a catarrhal appendix in the distal portion, and the surgical procedure consisted of appendectomy with reintegration of the herniated colon and closure of the hernia sac. The postoperative course was straightforward and the clinical outcome was satisfactory after 03 months.
