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.
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.
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.
先天性阴囊发育不全是一种极为罕见的病症。迄今为止，文献中已报道了11例先天性阴囊发育不全或缺失的病例。其中大多数为双侧性且伴有隐睾症。在一例罕见的双侧隐睾症病例中，我们报告了一名36天大的阿富汗婴儿，因感染和先天性阴囊发育不全，出现发热和呕吐症状，就诊于迈万德教学医院。通过临床和实验室检查结果做出了这些异常情况的诊断，临床特征记录于婴儿出生后第六周。在接受败血症治疗后，他被转至儿科外科，当时身体状况良好。鉴于先天性阴囊发育不全参考病例的父母为近亲结婚，该病症的发生可能存在遗传因素。
我们描述了一例罕见的双侧隐睾症病例，一名36天大的阿富汗婴儿患有先天性阴囊发育不全，因败血症导致发热和呕吐前来迈万德教学医院就诊。临床特征在出生后第六周被记录下来，并通过临床和实验室检查结果来确定这些异常情况的诊断。在接受败血症治疗后，他被转至儿科外科，当时身体状况良好。鉴于先天性阴囊发育不全参考病例的父母为近亲结婚，遗传因素可能促使了该疾病的出现。
先天性阴囊发育不全是一种极其罕见的泌尿系统先天性疾病。迄今为止，文献中已报道了11例先天性阴囊发育不全或缺失的病例，其中大多数为双侧性且伴有隐睾症。该病例呈现了另一名患有先天性阴囊发育不全伴双侧隐睾症的患者，其出生于阿富汗喀布尔市，母亲为经产妇，与丈夫为近亲结婚。
