Abstract

 Inguinal hernias in the newborn age group are rarely encountered. In the affected female patient, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the intestines may be seen in the hernia sac. The early diagnosis of torsion in cases in which the ovary is herniated into the inguinal canal is of utmost importance in order to give surgery the chance of reduction and correction. In this paper, a case of an ovarian herniation into the inguinal canal with the presence of torsion and incarceration is being presented.

Keywords: Female Inguinal Hernia; Newborn; Ovary; Torsion.
