RESUMEN
La hernia de Littré se define como la presencia de un divertículo de Meckel en el interior de cualquier orificio herniario. Se reportan muy pocos casos en la literatura por lo infrecuente de la patología, con una incidencia de aproximadamente un 2 por ciento de la población general. Presentamos un paciente de 70 años de edad que acudió al servicio de urgencia por presentar una obstrucción intestinal debido a una hernia inguinoescrotal derecha incarcerada. Con este diagnóstico se intervino de forma urgente. Se abordó por vía preperitoneal inguinal derecha y se encontró en el interior del saco herniario un divertículo de Meckel gangrenado y perforado. Se realizó resección intestinal, cierre del cabo distal del íleon terminal cerca de la válvula, anastomosis íleocolon ascendente latero-lateral y reparación del defecto herniario con una malla de polipropileno. El paciente evoluciona bien y es dado de alta a los 7 días(AU)

Very few cases are reported in literature because its rarity, with an incidence of approximately 2 percent of the general population. We report a 70-year-old man who came to the emergency department for filing an intestinal obstruction due to an incarcerated right inguinal scrotal hernia. He urgently underwent surgery because of this diagnosis. Surgery was addressed by right preperitoneal inguinal via. A gangrenous and perforated Meckel's diverticulum was found inside the hernia sac. Intestinal resection was performed. The distal end of the terminal ileum was closed near the valve, the íleocolon latero-side up anastomosis was performed and the hernia defect was repaired with a polypropylene mesh. The patient did well and was discharged 7 days later(AU)
