A De Garengeot hernia is a femoral hernia that contains the appendix. This rare type of hernia was first described by René-Jacques Croissant De Garengeot in 1731. Numerous case reports have been published since then, yet collective analysis about the presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of patients with this unique hernia is lacking.
