Ovarian torsion within an incarcereted inguinal hernia; Ultrasound and color Doppler findings
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 39, Issue 1
Abstract
Inguinal hernias can be seen in childhood approximately with a range between 0.8 and 4.4 %. In female patients, in 15% to 20% of cases there is an ovary with or without Fallopian tube in the inguinal hernia. In this paper, a case of 6 months old female patient presented with ovary containing inguinal hernia and ovarian torsion is presented. In cases of incarcerated ovary containing inguinal hernia prompt diagnosis and surgical reduction are very important to prevent ovarian torsion and ischemia. Ultrasound and/or Color Doppler Ultrasound play a crucial role in diagnosing hernia content as ovarian tissue and ovarian torsion, if happens.
