Congenital scrotal agenesis with bilateral cryptorchidism: a case report.

BACKGROUND

The disorder known as congenital scrotal agenesis is an extremely rare condition. In the literature, 11 cases of congenital scrotal agenesis or absence have been reported thus far. Most of them are bilateral and contain cryptorchidism. In a rare case of bilateral cryptorchidism, we report a 36-day-old Afghan infant who presented to Maiwand Teaching Hospital with fever and vomiting due to infection and congenital scrotal agenesis. The diagnosis of these anomalies was made using clinical and laboratory results, with the clinical characteristics being recorded during the sixth week of life. After receiving therapy for sepsis, he was referred to the pediatric surgical department in good health. Given that the parents of the congenital scrotal agenesis reference case were consanguineous, there may have been a genetic component to the development of the condition.

CASE PRESENTATION

We describe a rare instance of bilateral cryptorchidism, with congenital scrotal agenesis in a 36-day-old Afghan baby that had come to Maiwand teaching hospital for fever and vomiting on the basis of sepsis. The clinical characteristics were noted during the sixth week of life and clinical and laboratory results were used to determine the diagnosis of these anomalies. He was referred to the pediatric surgery department in good health following the treatment for sepsis. Given that the reference case of congenital scrotal agenesis had consanguineous parents, a link to genetics may have contributed to the disease's emergence.

CONCLUSION

Congenital scrotal agenesis is an incredibly uncommon condition of urological congenital disorder. To date, the literature has reported 11 cases of congenital scrotal agenesis or absence, most of which are bilateral and involve cryptorchidism. This case presents another human being that suffers congenitally from scrotal agenesis with bilateral cryptorchidism who was born in Kabul city of Afghanistan from a multigravida mother who has positive consanguinity to her husband.
