Inguinal hernias were diagnosed at 42 and 38 weeks' postconceptional age in
2 premature girls. The hernial sac contained the uterus, one Fallopian tub
e, and one ovary. The diagnosis was made by physical and sonographic examin
ation and was confirmed during surgical correction. We suggest sonography i
n the diagnostic workup in (premature) female infants with an inguinal hern
ia.
