Abstract
RÉSUMÉ
Amyand's hernia is defined as the incarceration of the vermicular appendage through the hernial sac. It's an uncommon pathology. The clinical presentation shows an irreducible inguino scrotal hernia. Management consists of an appendectomy, supplemented by parietoraphia in adults and closure of the peritoneovaginal canal in children. We report the first five cases of this disease in Gabon.
ABSTRACT
La hernie de Claudius Amyand est une incarcération de l’appendice dans un sac herniaire en général inguinal. Cette pathologie rare se présente en règle comme une volumineuse hernie inguinoscrotale irréductible. Le traitement consiste en une appendicectomie associée à une hernioraphie chez l’adulte et à une fermeture du canal péritonéovaginal chez l’enfant. Nous reportons les cinq premiers au Gabon de cette pathologie.
