Q
A 6-week-old male baby is brought to their GP for the 6-week check up. The GP notices that one side of his scrotum is larger than the other. On palpation, there is a soft smooth swelling anterior to and below the testis, that transilluminates. The baby’s mother thinks it has always looked like that. There is no erythema or signs of infection, and the baby is otherwise well and looks comfortable.
Given the likely diagnosis?
A
Congenital Hydrocele
