Round ligament varicosities (RLV) are a very rare cause of an inguinal mass, which is very similar to an inguinal hernia, and should be taken seriously by women, especially in mid-pregnancy. Ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis of the RLV and can prevent unnecessary interventions. We report a case of a patient with bilateral RLV: the primigravida was 31 years old, GP, gestation 30w. The patient presented to the clinic 1 month ago due to the discovery of bilateral inguinal masses. After the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound, this patient received regular reviews during labor and delivery and is currently in good maternal condition. The patient came to the clinic 1 month after the discovery of bilateral inguinal area masses for 1 month.
圆韧带静脉曲张(RLV)是腹股沟肿块的一种非常罕见的病因,其与腹股沟疝非常相似,女性应予以重视,尤其是在妊娠中期。超声检查可确诊RLV,并可避免不必要的干预措施。我们报告一例双侧RLV患者:初产妇,31岁,孕1产0,妊娠30周。该患者1个月前因发现双侧腹股沟肿块前来就诊。经超声确诊后,该患者在分娩期间接受了定期检查,目前产妇状况良好。该患者在发现双侧腹股沟区肿块1个月后来院就诊。
