We report the case of a 3-yr-old boy who presented an acute right hydrocele. A rapid scrotal swelling under tension developed the first hours and the child complained for discomfort especially during palpation of the scrotum. Three days later, surgical exploration revealed an incomplete torsion of a communicated and pedunculated peritoneal sac arising from the tunica vaginalis testis.The present case report represents the eleventh report of torsion of processus vaginalis saccular protrusion in the literature, being unique due to painless hematocele.
我们报告了一名3岁男孩急性右侧鞘膜积液的病例。最初几个小时内阴囊迅速出现张力性肿胀,患儿主诉不适,尤其是阴囊触诊时。三天后,手术探查发现一个与睾丸鞘膜相连且有蒂的腹膜囊发生不完全扭转。本病例报告是文献中关于鞘状突囊状突出扭转的第十一份报告,因其无痛性血囊肿而独具特色。
