Abstract

Littre's and de Garengeot hernias are rare operative findings, the former describing the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum in a hernia sac and the latter describing the presence of the vermiform appendix in a femoral hernia. The finding of both of these anatomical structures in the same hernia is exquisitely rare and infrequently described. In the following report such a case is described and the current knowledge surrounding these unusual hernias is discussed.
