Muscle hernia - forearm
Updates to Case Attributes
Ultrasound findings favorfavour distal forearm muscle hernia on palmar aspect. Muscle hernias are more common in lower extremities. Part of the herniated muscle appears hypoechoic than rest of the muscle lying deep to the fascia. There can be single or multiple defects in the fascia. Most muscle hernias are asymptomatic. While evaluating for a muscle hernia by ultrasound, light pressure is to be applied and use a lot amount of gel to avoid reducing the hernia.

Updates to Study Attributes
There is a facial defect at the site of the nodule inat the palmar aspect of the right forearm palmar side. There is a hernia of underlying muscle with the wrist extension only. Defect measure about 6 x 5 mm. A vessel pierces the fascia at the defect site.
