Laparoscopic diagnosis of adnexal changes secondary to a sliding inguinal hernia: A case report.

Abstract

Case: A 16-year-old Japanese female adolescent presented with left-sided lower abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left adnexal cyst (5 cm). Her history was unremarkable except for a sliding inguinal hernia attributable to inguinal herniorrhaphy.

  We report a case of tubal occlusion and ovarian atrophy secondary to fallopian tube and ovarian ligation associated with inguinal herniorrhaphy.
