Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare entity, with fewer than 100 cases reported in children. Bilateral abdominoscrotal hydroceles are even less common, with 14 cases reported in children. Various complications of abdominoscrotal hydrocele have been reported in the literature. We present a 4-month-old boy with bilateral giant abdominoscrotal hydroceles who developed appendicitis apparently because of obstruction from the right hydrocele. We discuss the various imaging modalities used to establish the diagnosis and plan the operative approach.

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is a rare clinical finding comprising fluid collection between the layers of the tunica vaginalis, extending from the scrotum to the abdominal cavity. At present, there is no unique or recommended management for ASH, and different surgical treatments have been proposed. Despite an open surgical approach being the most common treatment, the use of laparoscopy has also previously been described.

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) represents a rare condition characterized by abdominoscrotal cystic enlargement that exhibits hourglass-shaped, fluid-filled accumulation communicating with scrotal and abdominal components on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. We present the case of a 44-year-old patient who presented with swelling in the right scrotal and abdominal regions. Upon examination, a positive cross-fluctuation was observed between the right scrotal swelling and the abdominal swelling, raising suspicions of ASH, which was subsequently confirmed radiologically.

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is a rare condition characterized by a large scrotal and abdominal fluid-filled sac. An inguinal surgical approach is generally described in literature. We report the case of a 7-month-old child who underwent surgical repair of bilateral ASH through bilateral transverse scrotal incisions.

Interstitial deletions in the long arm of chromosome 3, although relatively rare, have previously been reported to be associated with several congenital anomalies and developmental delays. Around 11 individuals with interstitial deletion spanning the region 3q21 were reported to have overlapping phenotypes, including craniofacial dysmorphism, global developmental delay, skeletal manifestations, hypotonia, ophthalmological abnormalities, brain anomalies (mainly agenesis of corpus callosum), genitourinary tract anomalies, failure to thrive and microcephaly. We present a male individual from Kuwait with a 5.
