Figure 1. Grayscale ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound imaging of the right inguinal region. (A) Grayscale ultrasound imaging of the right inguinal region shows multiple echo-free serpiginous tubular structure structures within the right inguinal canal (arrowhead) extending into the right para-uterine space (arrow). (B) These structures demonstrate increased vascularity on color Doppler ultrasound with marked flow augmentation on Valsalva maneuver. There was no ultrasonographic evidence of an inguinal hernia. The imaging findings were consistent with round ligament varices (RLV).
