Meckel diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, occuring in 2-3 % of the population.It results from
improper closure and absorption of the omphalomesenteric duct.The most common complications are obstruction of the small intestine, hemorrhage
and diverticulitis.Meckel diverticulum can also be part of the contents of Littre hernia.We report a very rare case of Littre hernia which is a
complication of Meckel diverticulum and presented with an irreducible mass in left inguinal site diagnosed preoperatively as incarcerated inguinal
