Spigelian hernias (SHs) are rare in the pediatric population. Although pediatric general surgeons often treat this defect, the increased association between a congenital SH and an ipsilateral undescended testis suggests that urologists may be the first provider encountering this entity. Knowledge of this condition is therefore important. We report one such case of a male infant referred to urology for an undescended testicle. Further investigation revealed the testicle to be within a congenital SH sac. Herein, we additionally review the literature concerning SHs associated with ipsilateral undescended testicles.
Spigelian 疝（SHs）在儿科人群中较为罕见。尽管小儿普外科医生经常治疗这种缺陷，但先天性 SH 与同侧未降睾丸之间的关联增加表明泌尿科医生可能是首次遇到这种情况的医生。因此，了解这种情况很重要。我们报告了一例男性婴儿因未降睾丸而转至泌尿科的病例。进一步的检查显示，睾丸位于先天性 SH 囊内。在此，我们还回顾了有关与同侧未降睾丸相关的 SH 的文献。
