Transverse testicular ectopia, a rare condition where both testes move to one side, is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. This case highlights a successful surgical correction in an 8-year-old boy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with fewer than 100 reported cases.
  • This condition involves both testes migrating to the same hemiscrotum, posing diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of CTE in an 8-year-old boy presenting with a right inguinal hernia and a nonpalpable left testis.
  • Surgical exploration revealed both testes located in the right inguinal region.

Findings:

  • Bilateral orchiopexy was successfully performed by transposing the left testis through the preperitoneal space.
  • Preoperative diagnosis of CTE remains challenging in most reported instances.

Implications:

  • Advanced imaging like MRI and MR venography, along with laparoscopy, are valuable tools for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention are crucial for preserving testicular function and preventing complications in cases of crossed testicular ectopia.
