Patients with this condition often have a penile raphe that zigzags back and forth as well as a thinned or shortened foreskin on the ventral side. If in doubt, a small feeding tube can be threaded into the urethra.

Oct 18, 2023 · The bifid scrotum level of abnormality varies in a different spectrum and can be minor, partial, and severe. In minor form, the scrotal raphe (a tissue running from the anus to the root of the penis) becomes wide, or it can be split.

Dec 1, 2021 · Bifid scrotum is a rare congenital anomaly affecting the midline of the scrotum in a different spectra, in severe form the two scrotal sacs are widely separated with a laid opened urethra in the form of proximal hypospadias and the scrotal raphe is not detectable.

Dec 1, 2021 · The most common and clinically significant anomaly is raphe cyst and bifid raphe. Common as well as the rare scrotal raphe anomalies will be discussed in details with a referral to its clinical significances.

Malformations such as bifid scrotum, scrotal agenesis, or cryptorchidism may indicate an undervirilization process, suggesting the presence of a DSD or genetic syndromes with significant morbidity such as the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome or the Prune-Belly syndrome [126,127].

Penoscrotal transposition is a rare malformation with a scrotal position superior and anterior to the penis. Additional scrotal malformations (bifid scrotum, see below), penile malformations (hypospadias), or chromosomal anomalies (Klinefelter syndrome) are common.

A bifid scrotum is a deep midline cleft in the scrotum, caused by incomplete fusion of the labioscrotal folds. Abifid scrotum occasionally accompanies penoscrotal or perineal hypospadias.

Oct 22, 2010 · Bifid scrotum, most often associated with proximal hypospadias, is when there is a complete separation of the labioscrotal folds without a median raphé. The techniques used to correct this condition is similar to those used for repair of penoscrotal transposition, and is usually performed during hypospadias repair.

Hypospadias is the most common congenital defect of the penis. It is characterized by the abnormal position of urethral meatus on the ventral penile shaft. Structures affected in varying degrees are the anterior urethral portion, the glans, the prepuce, the corpus spongiosum and corpora cavernosa.

Jan 1, 2022 · We describe three cases of split median raphe of the penis (SMR) from our hospital newborn records from 2004 to 2013. One case was associated with median raphe cyst, one with skin hypochromia,...
