title: Irreducible inguinal hernia, bowel obstruction, and torsion of testis in a patient with testicular feminization syndrome.
abstract: Testicular feminization syndrome, irreducible inguinal hernia, bowel obstruction, and testicular torsion were diagnosed and treated in a 13-year-old girl. Diagnosis of this case in such a complex form in an emergency room is a rare occurrence. Through this case, we want to emphasize the coincidence of inguinal hernia and testicular feminization and the X-linked recessive transmission character of the disease.
