Fig. 11. Inguinal hernia.

A 14-day-old male patient presented with vomiting and right scrotal mass. (a) Cross-table lateral abdominal radiograph showing mildly dilated loops of small bowel with multiple air–fluid levels concerning for mechanical obstruction. (b, c) Transverse grayscale ultrasound examination of the right inguinal region shows a right inguinal hernia containing multiple loops of small bowel (arrow). The herniated bowel is hyperperistaltic with mild wall thickening. Motility and inflammation indicate viable bowel but urgent intervention is required to prevent incarceration and ischemia.
