The inguinal canal is often seen at the edge of the field of view on plain radiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging and may often not be scanned when performing sonography of the scrotum or abdomen. As a result, pathology in this anatomical region may be easily overlooked. The peculiar embryology of the inguinal canal makes the identification of pathology in the inguinal region significant, as some of the processes that take place within the scrotum may originate in the abdomen, and vice versa. This article reviews the relevant embryology of the inguinal canal, discusses abdominal and scrotal conditions that involve the inguinal region, and illustrates associated pathology.
在X线平片、计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像中，腹股沟管常出现在视野边缘，在进行阴囊或腹部超声检查时，腹股沟管可能常常未被扫描到。因此，该解剖区域的病变可能很容易被忽视。腹股沟管独特的胚胎学使得识别腹股沟区的病变具有重要意义，因为阴囊内发生的一些病变可能起源于腹部，反之亦然。本文回顾了腹股沟管的相关胚胎学，讨论了累及腹股沟区的腹部和阴囊疾病，并展示了相关病变。
