Abstract

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is a very rare condition in which the hydrocele sac extends beyond the scrotum to the abdomen via the inguinal canal. This condition is characterised by a large abdominal and scrotal component connected by an isthmus within the inguinal canal. The precise etiology of ASH is not known. Diagnosis can be made clinically and confirmed by ultrasound. Spontaneous resolution is rare and longstanding ASH may lead to complications, thus early surgical intervention is recommended. We present a 5-month-old male infant with a large right cystic inguinoscrotal mass that had been increasing in size since birth.
