Adductor longus tendon rupture mistaken for incarcerated inguinal hernia

Resumen Antecedentes: la enfermedad hidatídica es una antropozoonosis causada en la mayoría de las ocasiones por el cestodo Echinococcus granulosus (EG), caracterizada por la aparición de quistes que pueden desarrollarse en diversos órganos, fundamentalmente en hígado y pulmones. Sin embargo, la aparición de estos quistes a nivel inguinal es muy infrecuente, con muy pocos casos registrados en la literatura científica. Objetivo: presentar el caso de un paciente diagnosticado de hernia inguinal incarcerada secundaria a hidatidosis peritoneal difusa. Caso clínico: varón de 27 años e intervenido de forma urgente por tumoración inguinal irreductible y dolorosa de 24 horas de evolución. En quirófano se evidencia una hernia inguinal indirecta con presencia de saco herniario que contenía epiplón sin signos de sufrimiento y en su parte distal una tumoración, pétrea y adyacente al teste derecho, la cual fue extirpada en su totalidad. El paciente fue estudiado tras los hallazgos quirúrgicos y anatomopatológicos que informaron de lesión pseudoquística y granulomatosa, por lo que se realizó una tomografía computarizada (TC) que informó de una hidatidosis peritoneal difusa. Conclusión: la presentación de la enfermedad hidatídica peritoneal como una hernia inguinal complicada es extremadamente rara.

Abstract One of the most common urological emergencies encountered in pediatric patients in the emergency department (ED) is the acute scrotum. We present the case of a 4-month-old male that presented to our community ED with scrotal swelling and vomiting of 16-hours duration. He was diagnosed with a functional testicular torsion from an incarcerated inguinal hernia, transferred to a hospital with pediatric urological capabilities and was taken to the operating room ~2 hours later. His hospital course was unremarkable, and he was discharged on day 3, having made a full recovery without any loss of bowel or testicle. There have only been a handful of cases in the literature of a pediatric patient presenting with a functional testicular torsion as a result of spermatic cord compression from an indirect inguinal hernia, with no reported cases of complete salvage at nearly 18 hours since symptom onset.

The authors present a case of a traumatic extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture sustained 2 days after hallux valgus and hammer toe correction. The ruptured tendon, separated by a 6-cm defect, was repaired using a fascia lata allograft. This case demonstrates a serious complication of a commonly performed procedure and a salvage technique useful for dealing with large tendon defects. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 92(8): 467-470, 2002)

Language Literature

The incidence of tuberculosis is increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries. The prevalence of abdominal tuberculosis has been found to be as high as 12% in people with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Peritoneal thickening and intestinal adhesions can occur in patients with abdominal tuberculosis. Inguinal hernias are extremely rare in people with abdominal tuberculosis; only 11 cases have been reported in the English-language literature, half of which involved pediatric patients. No definitive guideline on the management of such cases is available. In this report, we describe the unusual finding of an incarcerated inguinal hernia in an adult with abdominal tuberculosis and propose a therapy to treat this complicated disease based on our successful experience.
