Abstract

Congenital syringocele is a rare cystic dilatation of the Cowper?s gland excretory duct. The two Cowper?s glands are located within the urogenital diaphragm and two paired accessory glands are situated in the bulbous spongiosal tissue. Although frequently asymptomatic in the pediatric population, syringocele may sometimes cause lower urinary tract symptoms such as INHespecific voiding dysfunction. We report the unusual case of an imperforate syringocele presenting as a scrotal abscess in a child.
