Doppler sonography in the diagnosis of round ligament varicosities during pregnancy

Quyen H Nguyen et al. J Clin Ultrasound. 2008 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Round ligament varicosities during pregnancy are an important differential diagnosis of complicated inguinal hernias and have been reported only rarely. Diagnosis is reassuring and may prevent unnecessary surgical exploration. We describe a case of round ligament varicosities presenting during pregnancy that was readily diagnosed with Doppler sonography.
