Inguinal hernia containing vermiform appendix as its content is termed as Amyand’s hernia. Though an unusual condition, however it is important for the radiologists as well as the surgeons to be aware of this entity especially if the herniated appendix is inflamed so as to avoid delay in treatment and decrease the associated morbidity and mortality.
