Abstract：
Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare condition which is commonly misdiagnosed as an inguinal hernia due to the unfamiliarity of clinicians with this pathology. There are three different types of hydrocele of the canal of Nuck, with type 1 being the most common, typically presenting as a unilocular cystic lesion with no communication with the peritoneal cavity. We present a case of a two-month-old female patient with an enlarging inguinal swelling raising the suspicion for an inguinal hernia or lymphadenopathy, with sonographic imaging revealing a fluid collection in the canal of Nuck, suggestive of a hydrocele. Diagnostic radiology plays a crucial role in the initial diagnosis of a canal of Nuck hydrocele, and ultrasound is considered the modality of choice for early diagnosis differentiating it from other causes of inguinal swelling.
摘要：
Nuck管的鞘膜积液是一种罕见的疾病，由于临床医生对这种病理不熟悉，通常被误诊为腹股沟疝。努克运河有三种不同类型的鞘膜积液，类型1是最常见的，通常表现为单眼囊性病变，与腹膜腔无连通。我们介绍了一名两个月大的女性患者，腹股沟肿胀扩大，怀疑腹股沟疝或淋巴结肿大，超声成像显示努克运河中有液体聚集，暗示鞘膜积液。诊断放射学在初次诊断Nuck鞘膜积液中起着至关重要的作用，超声被认为是早期诊断的首选方式，可将其与腹股沟肿胀的其他原因区分开。
