| Herniation of the appendix into an inguinal canal is known as an Amyand hernia.
Due to its nonspecific symptoms, clinical diagnosis is extremely difficult, and an accurate
preoperative diagnosis of Amyand hernia with ultrasound (US) and CT is rarely
reported. Herein, we reported a typical case of Amyand hernia in a 74-year-old male
in which the correct diagnosis was made using inguinal US and contrast-enhanced
abdominopelvic CT. US and CT findings of Amyand hernia showed a target-like tubular
structure within the inguinal canal. |
