Surgery confirmed presence of this femoral hernia.
Femoral hernias are less than 10% as frequent as inguinal hernias. They are more common in females and on the right side. They may be difficult to distinguish from indirect inguinal hernias.
Femoral hernias have a narrow neck while passing through the femoral canal and are prone to incarceration. On herniography the direct hernia is described as pear-shaped with a narrow neck. The upper posterior border of the neck parallels the superior pubic ramus.
