Abstract
Abstract
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.
