    Congenital Hydrocele

    Uploaded by

    Vedant Kumar
    Congenital hydrocele is a buildup of fluid around the testicles that is present at birth. A 26-year-old woman delivered a full-term baby boy via breech presentation who was found to have a swollen, translucent scrotum upon examination. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of congenital hydrocele. Management involves observation, with most cases resolving by age 2 without intervention. If swelling persists or causes pain, surgical drainage or aspiration of fluid may be required. Congenital hydrocele has a good prognosis and typically resolves without long-term complications.

    INTRODUCTION

    A hydrocele is a build up watery clear fluid around one or both testicles. When the hydrocele present in birth , it is referred to as a congenital
    hydrocele. In most cases, congenital hydrocele occurs in newborn male babies. Testicles normally develop in the abdomen and descend from the
    location to their normal position in the scortum. As the testicles descend, a lining of the abdomen, called process vaginalis ,also move with them. This
    channel usually closes around birth in most of the cases. But, if it does not, then a small amount of fluid can go from the abdomen to the scortum
    through this passage, causes hydrocele. Congenital hydrocele is a condition that is observed at birth. There are few risk factors associated with it i.e
    breech presentation, premature or low birth weight baby and gestational progestin use.
    Newborn presents with swelling of the scortum and groin.

    CASE REPORT

    A 26 year old female, G2P1L1 with 38wk2day gestation , referred


    from JLN Hospital Rudrapur to Dr. Sushila Tiwari Hospital, Haldwani

    with breech presentation in second stage of labour. Trimesteric
    histrory was uneventful. No history of any infertility treatment.

    required. Fluid needle aspiration may also be used to drain the fluid.
