Amyands hernia is typically described as a inguinal hernia containing the appendix in its sac. The true incidence of this hernia is still not discernible in view of its rarity. However the chances of complications in this type of hernia are extremely high. The clinical presentation of Amyands hernia is variable making the diagnosis challenging. This paper describes the pathophysiology and surgical approaches to Amyands hernia to create awareness of this occasional surprise.
