This case report details crossed testicular ectopia, a rare condition where both testes descend via one inguinal canal. The infant underwent successful herniorrhaphy, highlighting surgical management for this congenital anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Urology

Background:

  • Crossed testicular ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It involves both testes descending through a single inguinal canal.
  • Typical presentation includes ipsilateral inguinal hernia and contralateral cryptorchidism.

Observation:

  • A 6-month-old male infant presented with symptoms suggestive of crossed testicular ectopia.
  • The infant had an ipsilateral inguinal hernia.
  • Contralateral cryptorchidism was also noted.

Findings:

  • The case report documents the surgical management of crossed testicular ectopia.
  • Herniorrhaphy was performed to address the inguinal hernia.
  • Laparoscopic examination revealed intraabdominal findings related to the condition.
