Bilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele in a 5-month-old infant presented with a left leg edema and cyanosis

Abstract

A 5-month-old infant presented with bilateral abdominoscrotal hydroceles since birth and left leg edema and cyanosis. An ultrasound of the abdomen showed a cystic mass. Computed tomography showed a fluid filled mass extending intra-abdominally through the inguinal canal from the scrotum. A bilateral hydrocelectomy was performed, and the proximal sac was completely excised through the inguinal incision. The edema of the left leg resolved 2 days after surgery. The postoperative course was uneventful, without complication.
