Abstract

The paper presents two unusual pathological aspects of a hernia and an appendicitis. It is about a massive old inguinal hernia, with strangulation and an intra-saccular congestive acute appendicitis that occurred after a traumatic injury of the region. The presumptive diagnosis through a dynamic monitoring of the patient, clinical and biological analysis has made possible a favorable solution of the case.
