Congenital Bilateral Spigelian-Cryptorchidism Syndrome? A Case Report

摘要

Background: There is ongoing debate on nomenclature of congenital Spigelian hernia (SH) associated with undescended testis (UDT) in infants due to its frequent reporting in last two decades despite rarity of the condition. It is commonly reported as unilateral entity. To the best of our knowledge, only 4 bilateral cases have been reported. Case report: We report a case of bilateral congenital Spigelian cryptorchidism syndrome in a small infant who was dealt surgically with good outcome. Conclusion: The main differentiating point from inguinal hernia is direction of herniation in SH is laterally and upwards while it is downwards towards scrotum in inguinal hernia.
