Left groin hernia is present and containing fat, swirling fluid, and surrounding inflammation. The hernia sac arises below the origin of the inferior epigastric vasculature, and the hernia compresses the femoral vein medially.
Case Discussion
Features are compatible with femoral hernia that is a type of groin herniation and comprise a protrusion of a peritoneal sac through the femoral ring into the femoral canal, posterior and inferior to the inguinal ligament.
