Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly characterized by both testes descending through a single inguinal canal. In this report, the diagnosis of TTE was discovered in the event of an incarcerated congenital inguinal hernia in a neonate.
We present a case of TTE accompanied by persistent Müllerian duct structures (PMDS) that had been discovered incidentally during inguinal exploration of a 26-day-old boy who presented with an incarcerated congenital inguinal hernia on the right side and left cryptochidism on the left side. The pathogenesis, approach and proposed management of TTE are discussed.
TTE is an extremely rare anomaly, especially in neonates, and should be suspected in patients presenting with inguinal hernia on one side and cryptorchidism on the other side.
睾丸横过异位(TTE)是一种罕见的异常,其特征是双侧睾丸通过单一的腹股沟管下降。在此报告中,TTE 的诊断是在新生儿嵌顿性先天性腹股沟疝的情况下发现的。
我们报告了一例 TTE 合并持续性 Müller 管结构(PMDS)的病例,该病例是在对 26 天大的男孩进行腹股沟探查时偶然发现的,该男孩右侧有嵌顿性先天性腹股沟疝,左侧有隐睾。讨论了 TTE 的发病机制、处理方法和建议的治疗方案。
TTE 是一种非常罕见的异常,尤其是在新生儿中,对于一侧腹股沟疝和另一侧隐睾的患者应怀疑 TTE。
