Abstract
Introduction: A strangulated hernia is a surgical emergency. Hernia strangulation is manifested by a hard, painful and irreducible inguinal swelling and requires emergency surgical treatment. In some cases, it can be revealed by pathology; hence its name of hernia symptom and the diagnosis will only be rectified by gesture. Observation: We report the case of 50 year old men with no particular pathological history, admitted to the emergency for management of a strangulated right inguinal hernia and whose surgical exploration revealed appendicular peritonitis. Conclusion: The diagnosis of strangulated inguinal hernia is a clinical diagnosis that most often does not require any additional examination. but in some cases it can be revealed by another pathology mimicking a strangulated hernia, the diagnosis of which is corrected during surgery.
