Abstract

Scrotoschisis, also known as extracorporeal testicular ectopia, is an exceedingly rare congenital abnormality that affects the wall of the scrotum. In this condition, the testis exteriorizes through an opening in the anterior scrotal wall. The exact etiology for scrotoschisis is still unknown; however, many theories arose to explain its occurrence. Herein, we report 19th case in the literature in a 2-day-old boy who presented with an eviscerated right testis. We highlighted the possible etiologic hypotheses and management considerations as well.
