AbstractSeparately, diverticulitis and inguinal hernias are both common findings in emergency medicine. However, diverticulitis within a reducible hernia has not been previously reported.We present a case of sigmoid diverticulitis within a non incarcerated easily reducible hernia treated with conservative management. Our review of literature did not reveal any previously documented cases of this type of presentation.
