Abstract: Meckel's diverticulum it is the most common malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Femoral hernia is
the second most common inguinal hernia, and is characterized by incarceration and strangulation. We
present a case of 90-year-old woman wiht strangulation of Meckel’s diverticulum in a left-sided femoral
hernia. The diverticulum was resected and hernia was repared wihtout complications. A Littre’s hernia is a
complication of Meckel’s diverticulum and it is a result of its protrusion through a herniary orifice. Surgical
resection is recommended for this type of hernia due to possible vascular complications, intestinal
obstruction and herniation. Although usually Littre’s hernia appears in the early ages of the life, we must
not ignore their possible appearance in people who are aged. We present in this case a Littre’s hernia in a
very old woman.Keywords: Meckel’s diverticulum, littre’s hernia ,nyhus technique
