Rare cause of bilateral groin swelling: Round ligament varicosities

Round ligament varicosity (rlv) is rare and almost all cases are pregnant women. rlv appears as a unilateral or bilateral groin swelling. pain and tenderness may present. clinical evaluation is inadequate for exact diagnosis because inguinal hernia has similar findings. ultrasonography (us) is essential when a groin swelling is detected in a pregnant woman. we present gray scale us and colour doppler us findings of a 32- week pregnant woman with bilateral rlvs at the inguinal canal, parauterine area and in the myometrium.
