“The Nitty Gritty of it All”: Meconium Periorchitis

چکیده
Meconium periorchitis is a bizarre albeit rare extraabdominal sequel of fetal meconium peritonitis; ensuing the passage of meconium into the scrotum via a patent processus vaginalis. We hereby present the case of a 20 day old male neonate with the sonographic, peroperative and histopathological correlates of Meconium Periorchitis. The scrotal meconium being predestined for calcification and resorption, an expectant management with meticulous surveillance is acceptable. Surgical exploration is however warranted for ambiguous masses and in those with progressive scrotal enlargement. Infact a diligent and mandatory antenatal scrotal evaluation allows early diagnosis of this entity and averts needless orchidectomy in the neonate.
