ABSTRACT

Round ligament varicosities (RLV) in pregnancy are rare. On physical examination, it is difficult to distinguish RLV from inguinal hernia. Its diagnosis can be established using sonography. We present a case of RLV in which a 31-year-old woman presented at 28 weeks of gestation with a palpable left inguinal swelling. She was diagnosed using Doppler sonography, and conservative management was suggested. (JAREM 2016; 6: 115-6)
