cribed. The left hemiscrotum was in normal location, and each hemiscro
tum contained testis. The boy also had an infralevator-type anorectal
malformation. Initially, anoplasty was performed, and scrotal reconstr
uction was carried out 1 month later. The authors also reviewed the em
bryological explanation of ectopic scrotum in the literature. Copyrigh
