Crohn's appendicitis in an incarcerated spigelian hernia. 1986

R J Nauta, and E K Heres, and D B Walsh

A patient with incarcerated Crohn's appendicitis and a spigelian hernia is presented, representing the challenge in diagnosis, incision choice, and choice of definitive surgical procedure. While it is unlikely that the report of such a patient's course will make prospective recognition of this rare entity more likely, a systematic approach to this patient has allowed a satisfactory result with minimal complications.
