Bilateral ovarian sliding hernias are rare in infant girls. This case highlights a large indirect inguinal hernia containing both ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and bladder in a one-year-old girl.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Reproductive Anatomy
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Sliding indirect inguinal hernias are common in infant girls, often involving one ovary and fallopian tube.
  • Hernias containing both ovaries are exceptionally rare, posing unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • A one-year-old female infant presented with a large indirect inguinal hernia.
  • The hernia sac was found to contain unusual pelvic structures.

Findings:

  • The hernia sac contained the left uterine fundus, left bladder ear, and both ovaries with their respective fallopian tubes.
  • This represents a rare instance of bilateral adnexal and uterine/bladder involvement in a sliding inguinal hernia.

Implications:
