AI Article Synopsis
- Abdominoscrotal hydrocele and intestinal malrotation are rare medical conditions, and the case discusses a 15-year-old boy diagnosed with a lump in his abdomen initially thought to be a mesenteric cyst.
- Advanced imaging techniques, including a multislice CT scan and repeat ultrasound, revealed the true condition as abdominoscrotal hydrocele along with evidence of intestinal malrotation characterized by a positive whirl sign.
- This case is significant as it represents the first documented instance of abdominoscrotal hydrocele occurring alongside intestinal malrotation.
Article Abstract
Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is an uncommon clinical entity and so is intestinal malrotation. We report a case of 15 year old boy who presented with lump in abdomen previously diagnosed as mesenteric cyst on ultrasound. A multislice CT scan and repeat ultrasound not only diagnosed the case as abdominoscrotal hydrocele but also detected intestinal malrotation with positive whirl sign. This is the first reported case of abdominoscrotal hydrocele with intestinal malrotation.
