Ultrasound[edit | edit source]
- 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]
