Abstract
Canal of Nuck is formed by the evagination of parietal peritoneum into the inguinal canal in a female. It is homologous to the processus vaginalis in male. Failure of obliteration of this can result in an indirect inguinal hernia or hydrocele of the canal. Though this entity is rare, hydocele of canal of Nuck can be considered as a differential diagnosis in the cystic swellings in the inguinal region in a female.
