Postpartum thrombosis of varicose veins of the round ligament may present in a clinical picture similar to an irreducible inguinal hernia. Two such unusual cases are reported. One patient underwent surgery while the other, with a presumptive diagnosis of the same condition, was observed, with no complications occurring in both patients. This condition has not to my knowledge been previously reported. The increased incidence of both varicose veins and thrombosis in the postpartum period should alert the physician to the diagnosis of such conditions.
产后圆韧带静脉曲张血栓形成可能表现出与不可复性腹股沟疝相似的临床表现。本文报告了两例此类罕见病例。其中一例患者接受了手术,另一例初步诊断为相同病症,采取了观察治疗,两名患者均未出现并发症。据我所知,此前尚未有过这种病症的报道。产后静脉曲张和血栓形成的发病率增加,应提醒医生注意对此类病症的诊断。
