Abstract
Hydrocele of the Spermatic Cord is a rare anomaly which occurs when there is failure in closure of processus vaginalis. It usually manifests in infancy and childhood. There are two conditions of hydrocele of Spermatic Cord : (1) Encysted type and (2) Funicular type. We are reporting imaging findings in a 2-year male child who was brought to paediatric surgery department with chief complaints of swelling in right Inguino-scrotal region for 8 months. On high frequency ultrasound of Inguino-scrotal region, an anechoic oval cystic lesion with multiple septations within was present above the superior pole of right testis and extending up to the right inguinal region suggestive of spermatic cord hydrocele which later confirmed on surgery.
