title: [Congenital inguinal hernia in female triplets].
abstract: Each of tri-zygotic female triplets was found to have a right-sided sliding inguinal hernia. Although inguinal hernia has been previously diagnosed in twins, as well as in relatives of patients with hernias, a genetic basis for the condition has not been established.
