Abstract
Introduction: Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare condition caused by a failure of complete obliteration of the canal of Nuck and it is more common in female children. The processus vaginalis accompanies the round ligament through the inguinal canal into the labium majus. This evagination of the parietal peritoneum forms the canal of Nuck in females. The canal of Nuck normally loses its connection with the peritoneal cavity during the first year of life, but in some rare cases, it can result in a hernia or hydrocele when the connection of the canal of Nuck fails to close.
