“…5 ). Testicular ectopia differs from cryptorchidism in that the position of the testicle is outside the line of descent and the superficial inguinal sac is the most common location [ 112 , 113 ]. Extrusion of the testis through a scrotal defect or scrotoschisis can occur due to MPO, in which accumulation within the scrotum reaches a pressure threshold that results in rupture [ 29 ].…”

It can also occur due to a lack of development of the cremaster muscle [ 112 ]. Polyorchidism is characterized by the presence of more than two testicles.…”

Sonographic evaluation of fetal scrotum, testes and epididymis

External male genitalia have rarely been evaluated on fetal ultrasound. Apart from visualization of the penis for fetal sex determination, there are no specific instructions or recommendations from scientific societies. This study aimed to review the current knowledge about prenatal diagnosis of the scrotum and internal structures, with discussion regarding technical aspects and clinical management. We conducted an article search in Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases for studies in English or Spanish language that discussed prenatal scrotal pathologies. We identified 72 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Relevant data were grouped into sections of embryology, ultrasound, pathology, and prenatal diagnosis. The scrotum and internal structures show a wide range of pathologies, with varying degrees of prevalence and morbidity. Most of the reported cases have described incidental findings diagnosed via striking ultrasound signs. Studies discussing normative data or management are scarce.

“…A case with an association between jejunal atresia and scrotoschisis has been reported, and the absence of intestinal abnormalities in most newborns can be explained by fetal scarring of the original intestinal lesion without sequelae, a recognized phenomenon [3]. Schaffer et al [8] also opened the septum and explored the hydrocele and found lumps of meconium bathing in the liquid. The lumps corresponding to calcification of the meconium found in the vaginal area of the left bursa, the appearance of the exteriorized testicle, its normal size and consistency in our case could corroborate this hypothesis.…”

Introduction: Scrotoschisis is a very rare congenital defect of the scrotum characterized by the exteriorization of one or two testes. We report a case of right scrotoschisis in a newborn as well as a review of the literature for an approach of probable etiology. Patient and Observation: A newborn baby of 8 hours of life, weighing 3200 g was referred to our department for a right scrotal defect with exteriorization of the testis associated with fluid swelling of the left bursa. The 18-year-old mother, primiparous and primigeste followed all the prenatal consultations with eutocic delivery. After clinical investigation the diagnosis of right scrotosisis and left hydrocele was retained. Surgical treatment was carried out by primary closure after orchidopexy and exploration of the contralateral bursa, the content of which was calcified meconium bathed in a yellowish liquid. The post-operative consequences were simple. Conclusion: Scrotoschisis is an extremely rare birth defect whose etiology is poorly understood. However, it could be the cause of meconium peritonitis secondary to a scarred fatal intestinal perforation.

“…Scrotoschisis is an extremely rare condition that present congenitally in which one or both testes are lying outside the scrotum through a scrotal wall defect. Owing to no standardized term, people have used different terms for this condition like extracorporeal testicular ectopia, testicular exstrophy, and testicular extrusion [1,2]. There are only a few case reports in literature, and almost all of them are unilateral cases [3,4].…”

Background Scrotoschisis is a rare anomaly in which the testis is lying outside scrotum congenitally. Only few cases have been reported in literature under different names most of which are unilateral. We have found only one case of bilateral scrotoschisis in literature. Case presentation Newborn presented to us after normal term twin delivery as a case of bilateral scrotoschisis in which both testes were lying outside the scrotum congenitally. Baby underwent uneventful bilateral orchiopexy and was discharged home the next day. Conclusion Scrotoschisis is a very rare genital anomaly with only a few cases reported in literature. This report would add to the literature which would help in studying the exact mechanism and embryopathogenesis of this anomaly which is not known yet.
