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 diaphragmatic hernia is a common developmental anomaly encountered by paediatric surgeons. It is known to be associated with extradiaphragmatic malformations, which include cardiac, renal, genital, and chromosomal abnormalities. Herein, we report a newborn born with concurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Meckel’s diverticulum, and heterotopic pancreatic tissue. This is the first case report of such a triad with description of possible mechanisms of the development.

Among the complications associated with the presence of Meckel's diverticulum, its impingement in an inguinal hernia is rare. This circumstance and difficulty of diagnosis prompted us to share our observation.
