[Prenatal diagnosis of an inguino-scrotal hernia in a fetus with trisomy 18].
In spite of its prevalence in neonates, an inguino-scrotal hernia is a rarely detected condition in prenatal life. The sonographic findings, i. e., a scrotal mass with intestinal peristalsis, the differential diagnosis, and possible associations between a scrotal hernia and chromosomal aberrations are described by presenting the case of a fetus with trisomy 18 and major structural anomalies.
