Abdominoscrotal hydrocele in infancy.
Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is the primary cause of a lower abdominal cystic tumour in association with an inguinoscrotal hydrocele in infancy. Treatment is surgical, with excision of all elements of the hydrocele sac through an inguinal skin crease incision. We discuss the aetiological theories in the light of our surgical experience in three cases and we report the first bilateral case.
