Transverse testicular ectopia with a blind ending vas deferens

Anjan Kumar Dhua, Abhimanyu Varshney, Veereshwar BhatnagarIndian Journal of Urology 2016 32(4):317-319Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an uncommon anomaly of testicular descent. Herein, we describe a case of TTE with blindly ending vas and persistent Mόllerian duct syndrome in a 2-year-old child. Orchidopexy could be done through the normal orthotopic route after separating it from the Mόllerian structure and dividing the peritoneal fold just distal to the blindly ending vas. The report highlights that laparoscopy is useful for identifying subtle anomalies in addition to its therapeutic role.
