Left groin hernia shows bowel loops within. They appear to be reducible.
Case Discussion
A 10-week old girl presented via the emergency department with a firm, non-mobile, non-tender lump in the left groin, roughly 1.5cm in size.
Ultrasound showed reducible bowel and ovary within the hernia sac.
She was transferred to a tertiary center under pediatric surgery. Surgery revealed an indirect hernia with the ovary and fallopian tubes adherent to the sac. This was reduced and the defect repaired.
