Abstract :The presence of vermiform appendix in a groin hernia is defined as Amyand`s hernia. Amyand`s hernia is rare during the newborn period, especially in premature babies. Amyand`s hernia is usually detected during surgery in patients who are operated for incarcerated or strangulated hernia during the newborn period. In this case report, our aim was to present a case of Amyand`s hernia which was operated due to right strangulated hernia and adherent appendix vermiformis was seen in hernia sac during the surgery. Because appendix vermiform was inflamed and adherent to the sac, and there were findings of peritonitis during the surgery appendectomy was performed with hernioplasty. With this case report, we want to remind that appendix vermiformis may be found in the sac of an inguinal hernia during the neonatal period and we planned to discuss the conditions in which appendectomy should be performed.
