Hydrocele of canal of Nuck
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Female hydrocele or Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck, is very rare in females, mainly due to a developmental disorder presenting clinically as an inguino-labial swelling. The usual content of this sac is fluid being secreted by the peritoneum. The processes vaginalis accompanies the round ligament through the inguinal canal into the labium majora. This evagination of the parietal peritoneum forms the canal of Nuck in the female which normally loses its connection during the first year of life, but failure to close can result in a hernia or hydrocele.
