Een vrouw met een pijnlijke lies

A 74-year-old woman presented with a nonreducible, painful bulge of 10 cm in the right groin-region, which had been present for 5 days. She was not feeling ill. During the CT-scan the patient performed a Valsalva maneuver. The scan demonstrated a right femoral hernia with incarcerated peritoneal fat, infiltrate and an inflamed appendix. Peroperative findings confirmed the diagnosis “hernia De Garengeot”.
