Abstract:
Inguinal hernia is a common congenital abnormality in children. Clinically it manifests itself with a palpable swelling in the groin. The ultrasound examination is essential to confirm the clinical hypotheses. We describe a rare case of inguinal hernia with both intestinal and ovarian contents in an infant who arrived at the emergency room of the "Santobono-Pausilipon" pediatric hospital.
