Spectrum of penoscrotal positional anomalies in children.

Background: The normal relationship between the scrotum and penis during fetal development is controlled by several genetic and hormonal factors, and impairment of this positional relation results in a wide spectrum of positional congenital anomalies.

Objective: This a cohort study analysing 63 cases of penoscrotal anomalies (PSAs) according to severity and other associated malformations to provide a simple classification for recognising, describing and categorizing cases that may require surgical correction.

Design And Setting: Between 2005 and 2013, 63 diverse cases of penoscrotal positional anomaly were detected and analysed based on their hormonal profile and other associated anomaly.
