Abstract
The incarceration of the vermicular appendage through the hernial sac is commonly referred to as Claudius Amyand's hernia. It is a rare and exceptional pathology in children. We report the case of a 7-month-old boy with an acute swelling scrotum due to a strangulated inguino scrotal hernia who has been admitted to paediatric emergencies. The management consisted in a conditioning and a preoperative assessment. An exploration revealed in the hernial sac an appendix of normal appearance. An appendectomy and a closure of the hernial sac were done. The evolution was uneventful.
