Ultrasound diagnosis of round ligament varicosities mimicking inguinal hernias in pregnancy

Abstract: T here seems to have been a major error here. This has been put out as a model for timetables which says that it meets working time needs. This is totally wrong and it would be a disaster if people thought that this had College approval. The European Working Time Directive comes into effect by August 2004. This states very clearly that no-one may work more than 13 hours in a 24-hour period. The programme recommended by Louis Deliss totally ignores this. A morning off after 24 hours of work is completely inadeq… Show more

“…Its incidence in pregnancy has been reported to be 1 in 1,000-3,000 [5]. Distinguishing round ligament varicosities from inguinal hernia on clinical grounds can be difficult and is often not possible as both have a similar location, can be reducible or irreducible and can transmit cough impulses [1][2][3][4]. Other possible causes of an inguinal mass include femoral hernia, persistent embryonic remnants (cyst of the canal of Nuck), lymphadenopathy, soft tissue tumour and abscess formation.…”

“…Some associated risk factors and causes are: obesity, pregnancy, menopause, aging, prolonged standing and leg injury. Some other factors also exist that are less pervasive like the direct intravenous injection [3] [4]. Intravenous drug abuse usually performs by drug users in the upper and lower extremities.…”

“…Round ligament varicosities have rarely been described. 2,[4][5][6][7] They are, however, difficult to distinguish from a complicated hernia, because their clinical features are similar. Doppler sonography can correctly diagnose varicosities, preventing unnecessary surgical exploration.…”
