Only three patients of this series presented faecal fistulas. The history of rectal bleeding or repetitive abdominal pain was not present in any of the cases in this review. The complication rate of LH in this series is about 38.5%. (27/70). [afrjpaedsurg.org]

In 1719 Alexis Littre described a hernia bearing his name; at present, two kinds are recognized: combined Littre hernia (a Meckel diverticulum accompanied by any other viscus in the hernia sac) and true Littre hernia (a solitary Meckel diverticulum). [jamanetwork.com]

• Anorexia

  […] through the inguinal orifice, and 30% at the umbilicus 3 ; up to 1972, just 38 cases of strangulated Meckel diverticulum in a femoral hernia had been reported. 4 Symptoms of Littre hernia consist of vague, crampy abdominal pain, dyspepsia, and occasional anorexia [jamanetwork.com]

• Soft Tissue Mass

  Ultrasonography study confirmed an incarcerated hernia and intestinal tissue echo was detected [Figure 1]. An abdominal plain film showed intestinal obstruction and soft tissue mass in the left inguinaoscrotal region [Figure 2]. [docksci.com]

  The history of rectal bleeding or repetitive abdominal pain was not present in any of the cases in this review. The complication rate of LH in this series is about 38.5%. (27/70). [afrjpaedsurg.org]

  However, Littre's hernia should be suspected in the presence of rectal bleeding, irreducibility or a hernial faecal fistula. [2], [3] Heterotropic tissue of gastric, duodenal, pancreatic or colonic morphology has been reported to occur in 6 to 17% of [jpgmonline.com]

  The principal symptom is rectal bleeding, sometimes massive, due to the presence of gastric mucosa [5]. The incidence of Littre's hernia is unknown. Only few cases are found in the literature. [ispub.com]

The diagnosis is unlikely to be made preoperatively and Surgery is the treatment of choice. We report a rare case of Littre’s hernia who presented with clinical signs of intestinal obstruction. [panafrican-med-journal.com]

Treatment is by repair of the hernia, and excision of the diverticulum if possible. If acute Meckel's diverticulitis is present, the acute inflammatory mass may have to be treated through a separate abdominal incision. [gpnotebook.com]

It should not be used for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. As always, you should consult with your healthcare provider about your specific health needs. [sharecare.com]

Surgery is the treatment of choice for MD. The most usual treatment of Littre's hernia is wedge resection of the MD [6]. Repair of the Littre's hernia consists of local diverticulum resection and herniorrhaphy. [ispub.com]

Prognosis After successful hernia repair, there is always the potential for recurrence. Modifiable patient risk factors for recurrence include elevated BMI, smoking, diabetes and steroid use. [statpearls.com]

The prognosis depends on the type and size of hernia, as well as on the ability to reduce risk factors associated with the development of hernias. [emedicine.medscape.com]
