The Utility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Accessory Scrotum in the Newborn.
Accessory scrotum, a rare form of congenital scrotal anomaly that is often associated with other genitourinary and anorectal anomalies, is characterized by ectopic scrotal tissue in the presence of a normal, orthotopic scrotum. Here, we present a case of accessory scrotum in a newborn male. We describe our experience with the utilization of preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging to characterize the complex relationship between the accessory scrotum and ano-sphincteric complex, as well as identify associated genitourinary abnormalities. We also provide a brief literature review.
