Abstract

Inguinal hernias are more common in boys than in girls. If inguinal hernia containing an ovary (ovarian hernia) is a relatively common clinical form of inguinal hernia in the little girl, the one containing an ovary, a fallopian, and the uterus is very rare. We report the case of a 40 day old girl with a left inguinal tumefaction. The ultrasonography showed that the hernia contain an ovary. During surgery, we discovered a hernia sac containing an ovary, the fallopian tube and uterus.
