Abstract
Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is an unusual condition characterized by a large scrotal hydrocele which communicates in an hourglass fashion with an abdominal component through the inguinal canal. Based on previous clinical observations, we believed that ASH is a condition that begins as a large scrotal hydrocele during the neonatal period and later expands first into the inguinal canal and finally into the abdominal cavity during the next few months of life. We report a case series of ASH and point out its distinctive characteristics.
