Abstract
- Acute scrotal swelling is unusual in neonates and it should be treated as an emergency, especially in case with a clear urine. Only a few cases of an infected hydrocele have been previously described in the neonateal period. We report a 29-days-old newborn who presented with acute scrotal swelling that proved to be an idiopathic infected hydrocele on surgical exploration.
