ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of Amyand's hernia, the development of acute appendicits within an inguinal hernia, is rarely made preoperatively and is often confused clinically with an incarcerated right inguinal hernia. The use of CT to prospectively diagnose Amyand's hernia and corresponding imaging findings are not well described in the literature. We report a case of Amyand's hernia, which was correctly diagnosed by CT in a female patient presented to the emergency department with right lower quadrant pain and clinical suspicion of a strangulated omentocele.
