[Diagnostic ultrasonographique d'une hernie inguino-labiale a contenu utero-ovarien. a propos d'une observation chez un nourrisson].

Although indirect sliding inguinal hernias containing the ipsilateral ovary and fallopian tube are not uncommon in infant girls, those containing the uterus, ovary and fallopian tube are. We present the case of a 1-month-old girl with a palpable barely movable mass over the left labium major. Preoperative sonography was performed and revealed a hernia containing the uterus, ovary and fallopian tube. This diagnosis was confirmed during surgical correction. We suggest sonography be used for all diagnostic workup in female infants with an inguinal mass.
