Abstract
Littre’s hernia (LH) is a very rare presentation in patients presenting with hernias. It is the presence of Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) in a hernia sac. However, it usually presents with obstruction or strangulation. We are reporting here a case of Littre’s hernia in a 42-year-old male patient who presented with an irreducible swelling in the left inguinal region. The diagnosis of an incarcerated indirect inguinal hernia was made preoperatively. Intraoperative finding was however an obstructed Littre’s hernia with Meckel’s diverticulum in a very uniquely appearing hernia sac. The patient was successfully managed by resection of the MD along with ileal segment, primary anastomosis, and mesh hernioplasty on the inguinal floor.
