Case Report on Crossed Ectopia Testis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Undescended testes can be found in the inguinal canal or in the abdomen. Rarely, undescended testes can present with transverse testicular ectopia (TTE). Crossed testicular ectopia or transverse testicular ectopia is a rare entity.About a little more than 100 cases are reported in literature. It is one of the well-known congenital anomalies, in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum, usually associated with some other abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), true hermaphroditism, inguinal hernia, hypospadias, pseudohermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. We report a case of transverse testicular ectopia in an23-months-old boy who presented with right inguinal hernia and nonpalpable left testis. On ultrasound it was reported as both the testicles are in a unified sac near the right inguinal region at the deep ring. On exploration, both testes were present in the right inguinal region. Bilateral orchiopexy was performed by crossing the left testis in the extra-peritoneal space and ipsilateral scrotal orchiopexy. The diagnosis could not be made preoperatively in most of reported cases.
