An unusual form of groin hernia - a case report.

An unusual case of femoral hernia in a tribal female patient is presented which has been left completely unattended and uncared and hence undiagnosed until bizarre complication prompted medical and surgical intervention and finally this reporting. The 37 years old tribal woman presented with an eviscerated small intestine through an opening in the right lower abdominal wall. The eviscerated gut was in fact an intussuscepted portion of the intestine. She was operated upon. The gut was manipulated to get reduced into abdomen. The wound was left open after necessary debridement. It developed healthy graunlation tissue afterwards. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful.
