BACKGROUND: Scrotoschisis is a rare congenital anomaly of the scrotal wall with
idiopathic etiology and unknown prevalence. This pathology is extremely rare. We
report a new case and review the literature for relevant data. CASE PRESENTATION:
A 3-day-old full-term baby boy of African ethnicity, who had a homebirth, with
birth weight of 2.7 kg presented to our emergency department with exteriorization
of left testis; after clinical examination and proper investigations the
diagnosis was scrotoschisis. Surgical treatment was performed by primary closure
with excellent follow-up. We reviewed the literature to elaborate on the etiology
of this pathology and its management. CONCLUSIONS: Scrotoschisis is a rare
congenital anomaly affecting healthy babies. Early management is substantial.
Further studies are recommended to learn more about the etiology and long-term
results, including the effect on the fertility.
