Scrotoschisis in Newborn: A Rare Congenital Anomaly

Scrotoschisis is a congenital anomaly characterized by a scrotal wall defect and testicular extrusion. Despite the fact that the aetiology is yet unknown, a few possible mechanisms have been found. Although it is a rare disorder, a small number of cases have been reported. A full-term infant was born through normal vaginal delivery, and examination showed that the infant had right scrotoschisis. The exposed and swollen right testis was wrapped, and antibiotics were administered intravenously. Before any further intervention, a multidisciplinary meeting and family counselling were held. The right hemiscrotal defect measured 4 x 2 cm intraoperatively, and the right testis was swollen. Orchidopexy was performed successfully, and the epithelial fissure was closed. The infant was discharged in good condition on the fifth day of life. A clinical assessment of testicular function is necessary and will be scheduled during follow-up. This case of unilateral scrotoschisis illustrates the necessity of prompt multidisciplinary evaluation and parental counselling for optimal outcomes associated with this uncommon finding. Transdisciplinary discussion and family support are essential for care optimization.
