Abstract
A series of 12 femoral herniae in children is presented. Nine were misdiagnosed, eight as inguinal hernia. Nine were reducible. The sex incidence, M:F was 7:5 and nine presented between the ages of 8 and 10 years. One presented as intestinal obstruction due to a Richter's hernia and two had had a previous ipsilateral inguinal hernia repaired. All but one were repaired by herniorrhaphy.Entities:
