AbstractAmyand hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia defined by the presence of the appendix in the inguinal hernia sac. Clinical diagnosis of Amyand hernia can be challenging because this diagnosis is typically made intraoperatively, often as an incidental finding. Preoperative diagnosis by computed tomography and radiology ultrasound has previously been reported; however, there exists no reports of the diagnosis being made by point-of-care ultrasound. We present a case of Amyand hernia visible on point-of-care ultrasound performed by a pediatric emergency medicine physician.Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
