inguinal hernia and scoliosis

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Does anyone else know if there is a correlation between scoliosis and

inguinal hernias? Our dd has to have the repair surgery and they are

recommending doing both sides at once. I had never heard of anyone

having the hernia repair at nearly age 3. We had never noticed it

before.

Hi

I'm not sure if there is a correlation between hernias and

scoliosis, but, my daughter has a " Connective Tissue Disorder " which

is the cause of her scoliosis and her hernias. My dd has one

inguinal hernia to be repaired soon, and the possibility of a

herniated abdomen, which we are now waiting on a 3rd opinion on!

BTW - She is 5 yrs old.

Hi Judy

My daughter's diagnosis is " Connective Tissue Disorder " / Possible

Emerging Marfan Syndrome.

She is very tall, with disproportionatly long arms and legs, super

long fingers and toes, severely pronated feet, scoliosis, an

enlarged aorta, and Mitral Valve Prolapse. Plus ofcourse, hernias.

If she didn't have the heart issues, her diagnosis would probably

just be a " Connective Tissue Disorder "

A google search can bring up websites as I believe there are other

Connective Tissue Disorders out there..... Ehlers Danlos, Sticklers

Syndrome......
