Abstract
Litter’s hernia is an extremely unusual clinical condition, defined by the presence of Meckel’s diverticulum within a hernial sac. It is a true diverticulum containing all three layers of the gut. Herein, we are reporting rare and interesting a case of litter’s hernia in a 3 yrs boy. Presented with a slowing growing right inguinal swelling, on clinical evaluation it was found to be an irreducible hernia. The diagnosis was made incidental after opening the hernial sac, tip of the Meckel’s diverticulum was adherent to hernial sac. The boy was successfully managed by simple wedge resection of diverticulum and herniotomy.
