“…Scrotal pathology often reflects intra-abdominal disease. [ 4 11 ] Necrotizing epididymorchitis and neglected perinatal torsion of testis may both result in a scrotal abscess. [ 11 ] Clinical, radiological, operative findings, and histology may all not be to differentiate between the above two causes, in cases of severe scrotal abscess and both usually ends up in orchiectomy.…”

Aim:To report a series of scrotal abscess, a rare problem, their etiology, and management.Materials and Methods:A retrospective study of children who presented with scrotal abscess between January 2010 and March 2015, analyzed with respect to clinical features, pathophysiology of spread and management.Results:Eight infants and a 3-year-old phenotypically male child presented with scrotal abscess as a result of abdominal pathologies which included mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD) [1]; three anorectal malformations with ectopic ureter [1], urethral stricture [1], and neurogenic bladder [1]; meconium peritonitis with meconium periorchitis [2], ileal atresia [1], and intra-abdominal abscess [1]; posturethroplasty for Y urethral duplication with metal stenosis [1] and idiopathic pyocele [1]. Transmission of the organism had varied routes include fallopian tube [1], urethra ejaculatory reflux [4], hematogenous [2], and the patent process of vaginalis [2]. Two of the nine required extensive evaluation for further management. Treating the predisposing pathology resolved scrotal abscesses in eight of nine patients, one of whom, required vasectomy additionally. Idiopathic pyocele responded to needle aspiration and antibiotics.Conclusion:Scrotal abscess needs a high index of suspicion for predisposing pathology, especially in infants. Laparoscopy is safe and effective in the management of the MGD and ectopic ureter.

“…Fifteen month old child with recurrent episodes of painful swelling in right hemiscrotum had histopathologically proved HA [8]. Acute scrotum in children can rarely be due to scrotal abscess from synchronous abdominal appendicitis [9][10][11][12]. If child presents with acute scrotal signs and vague lower abdominal symptoms, US of right iliac fossa must be done along with doppler US of scrotum.…”

A B S T R A C TA 70d old infant who had reducible bilateral inguinal hernia was found to have acute bilateral scrotal swelling, erythema and tenderness without intestinal obstruction. Radiography and ultrasonography studies detected right side inguinoscrotal hernia. With a diagnosis of strangulated inguinal hernia on right side, exploration was done. Amyand's hernia and acute scrotal appendicitis were found. Appendectomy, bilateral inguinal herniotomy and scrotal fixation of testes were done. Scrotal appendicitis is an exceptionally rare cause of acute scrotum in young infants. Scrotal manifestations and scrotal complications of acute appendicitis in children are reviewed. This case stresses the need for emergency exploration of acute scrotum in which there is diagnostic dilemma

“…Intrascrotal abscesses are very rare in children, 1 as compared with epididymitis and orchitis, although they have been reported in neonates 2 . Most neonatal cases of intrascrotal abscess were reportedly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella species 2 .…”

majority of the affected population are young and have a comorbidity. It still remains to be determined whether colonization with CA-MRSA poses a greater risk of severe infection or postoperative infection compared to HA-MRSA. A limitation of our study was that mild MRSA infections after discharge might have been overlooked if they were treated at another clinic or hospital and not followed by our outpatient department. Further study may be needed to obtain an accurate grasp of the infectious burden after discharge from NICU in infants colonized with MRSA during hospitalization.
