Abstract

An uncommon congenital abnormality known as crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) or transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) occurs when both testes migrate into the same hemiscrotum. Inguinal hernia and persistent Müllerian duct syndrome are frequently associated with it. We present a case of “TTE” in a 1-year-old boy with an empty right hemiscrotum and left inguinal hernia. TTE, first described by Von Lenhossek, can be diagnosed via ultrasound, with over 100 cases reported. Theories of its origin include developmental anomalies of the genital ridge and Wolffian duct fusion. Accurate diagnosis is crucial due to increased malignancy risks and complications in management.

超声波检查在诊断横向睾丸异位症中的意义：病例报告

当两个睾丸移位到同一个半阴囊时，会出现一种不常见的先天性异常，称为交叉性睾丸异位（CTE）或横向睾丸异位（TTE）。腹股沟疝和持续性穆勒氏管综合征经常与之相关。我们报告了一例 "TTE "病例，患者是一名一岁男孩，右侧半阴囊空虚，左侧腹股沟疝。TTE 由 Von Lenhossek 首次描述，可通过超声波诊断，已有 100 多例报道。其起源理论包括生殖器脊发育异常和沃尔夫导管融合。由于恶性肿瘤风险和并发症的增加，准确诊断至关重要。
