Littre’S Hernia

Meckel's diverticulum it is the most common malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Femoral hernia is the second most common inguinal hernia, and is characterized by incarceration and strangulation. We present a case of 90-year-old woman wiht strangulation of Meckel’s diverticulum in a left-sided femoral hernia. The diverticulum was resected and hernia was repared wihtout complications. A Littre’s hernia is a complication of Meckel’s diverticulum and it is a result of its protrusion through a herniary orifice. Surgical resection is recommended for this type of hernia due to possible vascular complications, intestinal obstruction and herniation. Although usually Littre’s hernia appears in the early ages of the life, we must not ignore their possible appearance in people who are aged. We present in this case a Littre’s hernia in a very old woman.

Littre’S Hernia

Anticipation of complications is of paramount importance for a surgeon. Incisional hernia is a well-known complication for abdominal surgeries. Risk factors such as increasing age, obesity, male gender are well known. Intestinal obstruction, strangulation and perforation are imminent complications of this type of hernia if they become incarcerated. Common contents of a ventral incisional hernia are small bowel, large bowel and omentum. Even though Meckel’s diverticulum is a common gastrointestinal anomaly, it is rarely found to be the content of a hernial sac. A hernia sac containing Meckel’s diverticulum is also known as Littre’s hernia. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Thus here we present a case of perforated Meckel’s diverticulum that was entrapped in the ventral incisional hernia.

<p><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>El divertículo de Meckel complicado es poco frecuente en el adulto. Presentamos un paciente de 19 años de edad, con dolor abdominal de 11 horas de evolución, encontrando al realizar la laparotomía exploradora un divertículo de Meckel gigante, necrosado y volvulado. Las presentaciones más frecuentes del divertículo de Meckel son la obstrucción intestinal y la diverticulitis, esta última da una sintomatología similar a la apendicitis aguda,por lo que al realizar la exploración quirúrgica y encontrar el apéndice cecal normal, se debe visualizar los últimos 180 cm de íleo terminal.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Meckel's diverticulum is rare in adults. We present a 19-year-old patient with abdominal pain of 11 hours of evolution, finding a giant Meckel diverticulum, necrotic and volvulated, when performing the exploratory laparotomy. The most frequent presentations of Meckel's diverticulum are intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis, the latter being a symptomatology similar to acute appendicitis, surgical surgery and the normal cecal appendix, the last 180 cm of terminal ileum should be visualized.<strong></strong></p>
