Abstract
BackgroundAmyand’s hernia was an unusual condition defined by the presence of an appendix located in the inguinal hernia sac. Its prevalence was 1% of all inguinal hernia in children. The clinical manifestation of Amyand’s hernia was depending on hernia’s stage, an incarcerated hernia will present with an inguinal mass following by pain and motility disorder. It could lead to abdominal distention in the late stage. The common location of Amyand’s hernia was on the right side, the left side was uncommon. Early feeding on infants could provoke symptoms of bowel obstruction (SBO). More than 76% of infants in Java, Indonesia was given banana as solid food in infants before six months old. There is a correlation between the early banana diet and SBO. Amyand’s hernia could present as morbidity of early banana diet.Case presentationWe describe a case of two months old infant present with an incarcerated left inguinal hernia and history of early banana diet that performed herniotomy procedure. During the operation, we found left-side incarcerated Amyand’s hernia with appendicitis, excoriation caecum, and sticky banana mass.ConclusionThis case suggest the possibility of early feeding of banana diet may provoke incarceration of an inguinal hernia and if the incarcerated hernia content contains the appendix, then an Amyand's hernia.
Highlights
Amyand’s hernia was an unusual condition defined by the presence of an appendix located in the inguinal hernia sac
This case suggest the possibility of early feeding of banana diet may provoke incarceration of an inguinal hernia and if the incarcerated hernia content contains the appendix, an Amyand’s hernia
The clinical manifestation of Amyand’s hernia was difficult to differentiate with another inguinal hernia
Summary
This case suggest the possibility of early feeding of banana diet may provoke incarceration of an inguinal hernia and if the incarcerated hernia content contains the appendix, an Amyand’s hernia.
