Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) consists of fluid-filled intercommunicating inguinoscrotal and abdominal sac with a characteristic hourglass-like picture on CECT, which usually affects single testis and a rare cause of abdominoscrotal cystic swelling. The precise etiology of ASH is not known. Ultrasonography is the initial diagnostic modality of choice as it demonstrates the intercommunication between the two sacs and also identifies any abnormality of the testis and genitourinary tract. We are reporting a case of a 27-year-old patient presented in the General Surgery OPD of Acharya Vinoba Bhave Hospital in 2019 with bilateral scrotal and abdominal swelling. On examination, cross fluctuation was positive between left hydrocele and abdominal swelling, raising suspicion of ASH, which was confirmed on CECT. The patient underwent excision of sac through left inguinoscrotal approach and an uneventful postoperative course.

Introduction. Bilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare entity in childhood. The etiology of abdominoscrotal hydrocele has not been fully clarified. The diagnosis is based on clinical examination, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The treatment is surgery. Case outline. This paper presents an eight-month-old boy who was admitted at the department of pediatric surgery due to bilateral swellings in the scrotum area. The changes were first noticed when he was three months old and the diagnosis of bilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele was confirmed after the scrotum ultrasound examination. When the patient was six and eight months old, the symptoms have significantly increased, the magnetic resonance of the abdomen and the lesser pelvis was performed, and the bilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele was successfully treated with inguinal surgery. The operative and postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion. In this paper, we presented a rare form of hydrocele in children, as well as diagnostic evaluation that involved ultrasound and magnetic resonance examination. Surgical treatment by inguinal approach is also presented.

Abdominoscrotal Hydrocele

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare entity and first described by Dupuytren in 1834. Its etiology is still unclear. Rare complications are hydroureter/hydronephrosis, testicular flattening and malignant mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis associated with intraabdominal testis in an abdominoscrotal hydrocele. Herein we report a 7-month-old boy with bilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele with secondary bilateral hydronephrosis due to contiguous pressure. Bilateral hydrocelectomies were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful without complication. Six month after the operation the renal ultrasound was normal. This entity, although unusual, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lower abdominal mass in children, as well as a cause of hydronephrosis. After surgical removal, healing is usually complete, including regression of the hydronephrosis.
