    AbstractThe incidence of inguinal hernias in children is 1-4% with predominance in boys (10 to 1). Based on the data, 0.8-2.4% of premenstrual girls presenting with inguinal hernias have a complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS). On the other hand, 80-90% of girls with CAIS present uni- or bilateral inguinal hernias. Unfortunately, this burdened pathology is very rarely looked for by pediatricians, or paediatric surgeons.
