(c) In the encysted form (Fig. 199) of infantile hernia the bowel,instead of passing behind the closed funicular process, has distendedthe membrane which closes its upper end, and has pushed itself into thefunicular process, the upper or back wall of which envelops it ; in thiscase, therefore, the hernial sac is furnished by the funicular processitself, and only two layers of peritoneum cover the intestine.
