Abdominoscrotal Hydrocele - Considerations.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of the study was to highlight the pathology, clinical spectrum, and approach considerations in abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH).

Materials and methods

Our study included eight children with ASH from 2015 to 2022. The demographics, clinical presentation, investigations, operative details, and postoperative outcome were collected retrospectively from case files.

Results

The age of presentation ranged from 11 months to 2½ years. Six lesions were on the right side and two were on the left side. One child presented with an acute scrotum and underwent emergency inguinal exploration, revealing hemorrhagic fluid after trauma. Others presented with tense inguinoscrotal swelling, which was fully reducible but refilled promptly after emptying. Preoperative ultrasound
