The hydrocele of canal of Nuck: Case report and review of the literature
Journal Title: Journal of Radiology and Imaging - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare condition that results from the failure of obliteration of the distal portion of evaginated parietal peritoneum within the inguinal canal which forms a sac containing fluid. It usually presents with painless inguinal swelling that may lead to investigation by imaging, mainly ultrasound, CT or MRI. We present a case of a 30-year-old female who presented for a 2-3 cm right inguinal canal hydrocele of the canal of Nuck, followed by review of the literature.
