Abstract
- A case of congenital ectopic scrotum in neonatal period is described. The ectopic scrotum was located in the right inguinal area and the left hemiscrotum was found in normal location and each hemi-scrotum contained their testis. The neonate also had imperforate anus as low anorectal malformation with spinal abnormalities (hemi-sacrum and hemi-pelvis), right knee flexion contracture and right club foot. The embryological explanation in the literature of ectopic scrotum and its associated anomalies is discussed.
