Although inguinal hernias are a common finding in premature infants, it is usually caused by the protrusion of the bowel through a persistent patent processus vaginalis. However, acute appendicitis in association with an inguinal hernia in this age group is a rare finding. This type of hernia is referred to as an Amyand hernia.
