Description
Abstract
Round ligament varices are a rare condition that usually occurs during pregnancy. Clinical findings are very similar to inguinal hernia. Patients usually present with groin pain and groin swelling that can be enlarged by the Valsalva maneuver. Since management is different, it is important to make a differential diagnosis of these two diseases.
Özet
Round ligament varisleri, gebelikte nadir görülen bir sağlık sorunu olup klinik bulgular kasık fıtığı ile oldukça benzerlik göstermektedir. Hastalar genellikle kasık ağrısı ve Valsalva manevrası ile büyüyen kasık şişliği şikayetiyle başvurmaktadır. Klinik yönetimi inguinal herniden farklı olduğu için bu iki hastalığın ayırıcı tanısının yapılması önemlidir.
