Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is an uncommon clinical entity. Fewer than 200 cases have been reported in the literature, only two of which described bilateral involvement. We present five cases of abdominoscrotal hydrocele occurring in infancy, three of which revealed bilateral disease. The first case represents the youngest patient ever reported with this condition and the first reported with secondary bilateral upper tract dilatation. The historical background, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed.
腹阴囊鞘膜积液是一种罕见的临床病症。文献报道的病例不足200例，其中仅有两例描述为双侧受累。我们报告了5例婴儿期发生的腹阴囊鞘膜积液病例，其中3例为双侧病变。首例病例是有此病症报道以来最年幼的患者，也是首例报道伴有继发性双侧上尿路扩张的患者。本文对其历史背景、病理生理学、诊断及治疗进行了综述。
