Bilateral femoral hernias are less common in men than in women and rare in young adults. Only one case of a bilateral femoral hernia in a young man has been reported in the literature before. Three main theories have been postulated for femoral hernias. The theory that they are an acquired disease is the most accepted due to the common occurrence of such hernias in multiparous women but the theory lacks enough evidence. We report two cases in young men. Anatomical variations in the femoral canal could be the primary aetiological factor in these patients. A unilateral femoral hernia in young men with acquired aetiological factors requires a clinical examination of the opposite side.

“…The hypothesis of McVay, that a congenitally narrow posterior inguinal wall attachment to Cooper's ligament results in an enlargement of the femoral ring, is the important anatomic factor [6]. Actually, the essential etiology of femoral hernia in infants is not clear in many reported cases.…”

Incarcerated femoral hernia with ovary and fallopian tube torsion in an infant: a rare occurrence

2008

Incarcerated femoral hernia with ovary and fallopian tube torsion is very rare in children. We herein report a case of incarcerated femoral hernia with ovary and fallopian tube torsion in a 7-month-old female who was diagnosed on the basis of operative findings. We released the torsion of the left fallopian tube. However, the ovary remained discolored. Left salpingo-oophorectomy and McVay repair for femoral hernia were performed. She has experienced no recurrence of femoral hernia for 3 years. We must consider incarcerated femoral hernia in the differential diagnosis for infants with groin redness and swelling.
