The Inguinal Herniation of the Ovary in the Newborn : Ultrasound and Color Doppler Ultrasound Findings

الملخص EN

Inguinal hernias in the newborn age group are seldom encountered.

In the affected female patient, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the intestines may settle in the hernia sac.

The early diagnosis of torsion in cases in which the ovary is herniated into the inguinal canal is of utmost importance in order to give surgery the chance of reduction and correction.

In this paper, a case of an ovarian herniation into the inguinal canal without the presence of torsion is being presented, and the place of US and CDUS in the differential diagnosis of the situation is being discussed.
