Round Ligament Varicosity

Round ligament varicosities occur almost exclusively in pregnant and postpartum women and present similarly to inguinal hernias clinically, thus posing diagnostic challenges to clinicians. The distinction of the two conditions is important as round ligament varicosities do not require surgery while inguinal hernias do. Rarely, round ligament varicosites may be complicated by thrombosis or hemorrhage. In this case report, we present a rare case of round ligament varicosity (RLV) which has been complicated by thrombosis. The radiological features on ultrasound and contrast computed tomography of a thrombosed RLV are presented.

Hernia is an exceedingly common pathology, to which inguinal hernias are frequently diagnosed. Though this entity is regularly seen, in pregnancy a different diagnosis must be excluded: round ligament varicocele (RLV). Round ligament varicocele has a similar presentation to inguinal hernia, and therefore is often misdiagnosed. Though misdiagnosis potentially occurs from a lack of knowledge of the disease, RLV has shown that it’s at least as common as inguinal hernia in pregnancy. The issue with misdiagnosis occurs as there is significant difference in management; hernia may require operative intervention, while RLV follows a conservative course. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is essential, and an incorrect diagnosis can be associated with an unnecessary operation and consequence. We present the case of a patient in her second trimester who was referred for surgery due to suspicion of an inguinal hernia, and review the literature for evaluation recommendations, appropriate diagnostic strategies, and management tactics for RLV.
