Sonography Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Sonography Case Study Solution

Possible differential diagnosis sonographic feature:

In the inguinal region, the presence of reducible protrusion is evident of the inguinal hernia and sometimes does not require any further evaluation in diagnosis expect physical examination. This is mainly inspected on the basis of presence of palpation of patient’s groin. The inguinal hernia is to be notable from hernia of scrotal i.e. accompanied with hydrocele through palpation by the help of diaphanoscopy. This is done before performing ultrasonography. On the contrary, non-reducing masses of inguinal hernia requires additional evaluation for diagnosis other than physical one rather it is asymptomatic.The ultrasonography utility is confirmed by meta-analysis for this purpose with sensitivity i.e. 96.6%, specificity i.e. 84.8% and 92.6% of positive predictive value.Magnetic Resonance Imaging is considered superior in both computed tomography and ultrasonography cases. Unusually, herniography is still considered in the review of current systems as one of the most sensitive modality in diagnosis.

Implication for future management:

Although, the first line treatment of inguinal hernia is tend to be non-operative. The patient suffering through this problem should be asked to take rest and avoid actions or sport movements that results in pain.This is in combination with the medications of non-steroids i.e. anti-inflammatory and perhaps a short steroid course of tapering.

The exercises of core strengthening helps in building the ability in rotation of pelvis against resistance. However, a number of patients may response in the management of non-operative methods. In case of, when they feel pain in relation to the weakness of the transversal is fascia and an incipient hernia. This might offer the patient for surgical operation for the repair of inguinal hernia. Mesh reinforcement of the inguinal canal’s posterior wall might accomplish by an open or laparoscopic technique.(Loretto Glynn, 2017)

Conclusion:

The diagnosis of inguinal hernias was electively based on the reducible groin mass in patient which represented a groin lump resulting in discomfort. For the diagnosis of the problem, ultra so no graphy was performed with controlled instructions using a probe ranging from 8 to 12 MHz with the transducer for maintained perspective of anatomy. The diagnosis can be made more effective using additional techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, non-reducing masses of inguinal hernia requires additional evaluation for diagnosis other than physical examination. The patient is not benefited by the first line of non-operative treatment then they are offered for surgical operations.

Exhibit 2: Sonographic Approach

Sonographic Approach
 

Patient care and preparation:

Controlling instructions are intended to be used such as “with closed mouth, blow out of cheeks”, “head raise from the pillow” and/or tense up stomach”
Choices of probe: Linear array probe ranging from 8 to 15 MHz
 

Equipment Setting:

Linear transducer of 12 MHz i.e. high frequency, with a light pressure of probe and a controlled and slow transducer movement
 

Areas to be examined:

Rectus abdominis, deep inferior epigastric vessels, external iliac vessels, medial to the femoral vein, fermonal canal, and soft tissues of groin.
