Abstract

The authors describe a rare case of abdominocrotal hydrocele in an infant. A huge cyst of the abdominal cavity was found at the sonographic and X-ray CT examination of the abdominal cavity. During surgery, a giant hydrocele sized 8.0 x 7.0 cm and having communication with the right inguinal canal and scrotum was revealed in the abdominal cavity. The cyst was removed after a preliminary separation of a 15 cm sperm duct which was located along the posteromedial surface of the cyst. After the surgery, the infant recovered completely.
