Abstract
Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is rare entity in adults and difficult to suspect on clinical examination. Clinical examination of the patient with inappropriate history adds to the diagnostic dilemma for this condition leading to various differentials and dependence on radiological investigations for its diagnosis. We report a case of, 19‐year‐old male presented with scrotal swelling and gradually progressing abdominal distension since six months. Based on clinical and radiological findings a diagnosis of abdominoscrotal hydrocele was made, which was later confirmed with CECT abdo pelvis and MRI. Patient underwent inguinal exploration for abdominoscrotal hydrocele with laparoscopic assisted procedure. Postoperative course was uneventful. Complete excision of pathological processus vaginalis and complete drainage of hydrocele is must to prevent recurrence. Laparoscopy assistance can help in confirming complete excision and drainage of ASH.
