Une hydrocèle du canal de Nuck découverte au cours d´un bilan d´infertilité: à propos d’un cas atypique
Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare woman condition often detected during childhood. We here report a rare case of hydrocele detected in adulthood during infertility evaluation. The patient presented with chronic non painful right inguinal swelling. Imaging test demonstrated typical image of hy...

description | Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare woman condition often detected during childhood. We here report a rare case of hydrocele detected in adulthood during infertility evaluation. The patient presented with chronic non painful right inguinal swelling. Imaging test demonstrated typical image of hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. The ultrasound found cyst formation with few thin septa and MRI did not find any communication with the peritoneum. The same imaging tests were performed which showed non-partitioned bicornuate uterus that could fall under the framework of infertility evaluation. The main purpose of this study was to report the typical imaging features of hydrocele of the canal of Nuck, which is a little known diagnosis that should be integrated into differential diagnoses of inguinal swellings in women. |
