N2  - History. 
    —J. T., aged 17, had had an undescended testicle in the lower end of the right inguinal canal since a baby without producing any symptoms. On July 13, while walking along a railroad track he stumbled and fell forward. In attempting to catch himself he felt something give way in the right inguinal region, but after resting for a few minutes, during which time he vomited once, he was able to walk to his home half a mile away. During the next two hours he vomited several times and had a great deal of pain in the region of the undescended testicle which had increased to twice its normal size. When seen three hours after the injury a diagnosis of strangulated hernia was made and an unsuccessful attempt made to reduce it under anesthesia. Immediate operation was then performed.
