Abstract

The term "Littre's hernia" was originally defined by Reinke in 1841 as "the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum in any hernia sac." Littre's hernia is a very rare disease, which accounts for less than 1 % of all Meckel's diverticula. We report a case of Littre's hernia experienced in a 45 day-old infant.
