Littre Hernia

Littré’s hernia is caused by the protrusion of Meckel’s diverticulum through an orifice in the abdominal wall. Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract that is generally asymptomatic and only manifests in a specific way when complications exist. An unusual complication of Meckel’s diverticulum is known as Littre’s hernia. It comprises less than 1% of all Meckel’s diverticulum. Usual sites of Littre hernia are right inguinal (50% of cases), umbilical hernia (20%), and femoral hernia (20%). We present a case of Littré’s hernia where we found a strangulated Meckel’s diverticulum in an inguinal hernia sac.

Congenital Condition

In this article we report the case of a 26-year-old boy suffering from perforation of Meckel's diverticulum (MD), a rare complication of the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract (1). This congenital condition can remain asymptomatic for a long time and sometimes it can get complicated with diverticulitis, formation of enteroliths, neoplasms and rarely perforation as in this case. A preoperative radiological assessment is of fundamental importance for a correct diagnostic and therapeutic management of the patient. In this article we show the typical tomographic imaging features of this infrequent complication, in order to help radiologists in detecting it.

The Right

Meckel’s diverticulum occurs in 2-3% of general population and can presents as Littre’s hernia. We are reporting an 88-year-old female referred to our surgical unit with a painful right groin hernia 2 weeks, associated with vomiting, fever and diarrhoea. Physical examination showed an irreducible tender lump in the right groin with overlying erythematous skin. Plain radiograph showed dilated small bowel with a loop of bowel seen within the right groin region. A diagnosis of strangulated right femoral hernia was made preoperatively. Right inguinal incision initially employed, however, after a grossly inflamed Meckel's diverticulum with adjacent bowel perforation was found, a midline laparotomy ensues. Meckel's diverticulum was resected together with the perforated segment of small bowel. A primary anastomosis was then performed. In managing Meckel’s diverticulum the proposed treatment for is wedge resection and primary repair of the ileum. If there is oedema or inflammation at the base of the diverticulum, resection and anastomosis of a segment of the ileum may be necessary. Meckel’s diverticulum may be found in any type of abdominal hernia and thus an incarcerated hernia should not be attempted to manually reduce.
