- Beschreibungen/Notizen
- Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is an uncommon clinical entity. Fewer than 200 cases have been reported in the literature, only two of which described bilateral involvement. We present five cases of abdominoscrotal hydrocele occurring in infancy, three of which revealed bilateral disease. The first case represents the youngest patient ever reported with this condition and the first reported with secondary bilateral upper tract dilatation. The historical background, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed.
