Inguinal hernia resulting in acute scrotal pain. a Longitudinal US image of the right inguinal canal in a 39-year-old with right scrotal pain shows an elongated heterogeneous structure in the right inguinal canal (arrowheads); hyperechoic regions corresponded to fat while hypoechoic, serpiginous structures corresponded to vessels.
