  ABSTRACT: The rare finding of the vermiform appendix within an inguinal hernia sac is known as Amyand’s hernia. It was first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735, in a right inguinal hernia. A much rarer find is a left-sided Amyand’s hernia. This is a report of a case of complicated left-sided Amyand’s hernia in an eighteen month old male child. He presented as an emergency with an obstructed inguino-scrotal hernia and the diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia was made intra-operatively. He made uneventful recovery after surgery. Treatment options depend on findings during operation and clinical status of the patient.
