Abstract
- Amyand's hernia is an exceedingly rare condition in which the appendix is found in an inguinal hernia. The appendix can be normal, inflamed, infected, or perforated. Here, we present a case of perforated appendicitis in an Amyand's hernia in an extremely preterm infant with subsequent post-operative complications including necrotic bowel and venous thrombosis of the mesentery. This article stresses the importance of complications that can arise in Amyand's hernia, especially in an extremely preterm infant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
