Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of femoral hernia. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of femoral hernia include thickening and edema of the intestinal wall, slightly echogenic, long strip shaped omentum in the hernia sac.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of femoral hernia. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of femoral hernia include:[1]
- Expansion of the intestines with reverse peristalsis
- Fixed masses without peristalsis
- Expansion of a fluid filled bowel
- Intestinal fluid reflux
- Thickening and edema of the intestinal wall
- Slightly echogenic, long strip shaped omentum in the hernia sac
- Color doppler ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of femoral hernia; incarceration by observing the blood supply in the contents of the hernia sac.[1]
