ABSTRACT
The finding of an appendix in the hernial sac is a rare entity known as Amyand's hernia. It is even more rare when it occurs on the left side. We report a rare presentation of Amyand's hernia, where the appendix was found inflamed during surgery for a left sided obstructed inguinal hernia in a 40 years old male. The patient underwent appendicectomy and repair of the hernial sac and had an uneventful recovery. The possibility of the presence of a situs inversus or malrotation, as an underlying cause for the observed pathology, was excluded by X-ray examination
