Hernie inguinale étranglée compliquée d'ischémie testiculaire sur perméabilité du canal peritonéo-vaginal.

Inguinal hernia is frequent in children. Strangulated hernia is the main complication of this disease and it is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Imaging techniques, in particular Ultrasound, play a key role in case of diagnostic doubt, especially when the hernia occurs in a context of oscillating testicles because this may mimic a torsion of the spermatic cord. Ultrasound should be used in patients with strangulated hernia associated with oscillating testicles in order to eliminate testicular ischemia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
