A patent processus vaginalis (PPV) allows a communication between the peritoneum and scrotum. Hydrocoele is the usual presentation of a PPV in children. However, with intraabdominal pathology the patent PPV may provide the first clue to the mischief within the abdomen. We present here two unusual cases associated with a PPV and migration of intraabdominal contents from the abdomen to the scrotum.
开放性鞘状突（PPV）可使腹膜与阴囊相通。鞘膜积液是儿童PPV的常见表现。然而，对于腹腔内病变，开放性PPV可能是腹腔内病变的首个线索。我们在此呈现两例与PPV及腹腔内容物从腹腔迁移至阴囊相关的罕见病例。
