When vermiform appendix is found in the inguinal hernial sac, the condition is called Amyand’s hernia (AH). Appendix in hernial sac can be normal, inflamed or perforated. It can present as complicated hernia or acute scrotum. We present a case of Amyand’s hernia in a 25-day-old male who presented with an obstructed hernia having perforated appendix in the hernial sac.
