ASPECT ECHOGRAPHIQUE DE LA HERNIE INGUINALE GAUCHE DE LA VESSIE : A PROPOS D'UN CAS BOUAKE.

Inguinal hernia is one of the most frequent pathologies in surgery and is defined by the passage of abdominal or pelvic contents through the inguinal orifice [1]. However, an inguinal hernia is said to be of the bladder when the contents involve the bladder [2]. It is rare and most often discovered intraoperatively [3]. We report a case of left inguinal bladder hernia diagnosed by ultrasound. This was a 74-year-old patient who consulted for dysuria associated with bilateral inguino-scrotal swelling. A vesico-prostatic ultrasound was performed using a Samsung ultrasound scanner equipped with high and low frequency probes and a pulsed and color Doppler mode. At the end of this examination, the diagnosis of a left inguinal hernia of the bladder was made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
