Résumé |
Inguinal hernias were diagnosed at 42 and 38 weeks postconceptional age in 2 premature girls. The hernial sac contained the uterus, one Fallopian tube, and one ovary. The diagnosis was made by physical and sonographic examination and was confirmed during surgical correction. We suggest sonography in the diagnostic workup in (premature) female infants with an inguinal hernia.
