Birth Defects Res 2024; 116:e2270. [PMID: 37929661 DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.2270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Penoscrotal transposition (PST) is an uncommon urogenital malformation in which the penis is mal-positioned to be inferior to the scrotum. The purpose of this study was to explore PST risk by maternal characteristics and to describe co-occurring congenital abnormalities in the Texas Birth Defects Registry (TBDR). METHODS We conducted a population-based descriptive study examining occurrence of PST in the TBDR between 1999 and 2019. The primary outcome variable was PST diagnosis during infancy. Descriptive variables included maternal age, education, and race/ethnicity. Prevalence ratios (PRs) were calculated within each maternal variable category using Poisson regression. Counts and percentages of cases with select co-occurring congenital abnormalities were also calculated. RESULTS Overall, 251 infants had PST, providing a prevalence of 0.61/10,000 live male births (95% CI: 0.53-0.68). PST prevalence was significantly lower among infants of mothers who had lower educational attainment (high school), who were younger (<25 vs. 25-34), and who were Hispanic (vs. non-Hispanic White) and was significantly higher among older mothers (35+ vs. 25-39). Hypospadias was the most common co-occurring genitourinary anomaly, affecting close to 70% of cases. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first investigation exploring the prevalence of PST in a population-based birth defects registry. Our findings help to understand the risk for PST among select maternal demographic characteristics and may assist in generating hypotheses about the underlying etiology of this condition for future work.

[PMID: 35712938 PMCID: PMC9240851 DOI: 10.7507/1002-1892.202201010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of penile up transfer method in the treatment of penoscrotal transposition (PST) in children. METHODS A clinical data of 46 children with PST admitted between January 2015 and March 2021 and met selective criteria was retrospectively analyzed. The M-shaped scrotal flap method was adopted in 21 cases (group A), and the penile up transfer method was adopted in 25 cases (group B). There was no significant difference in age and PST typing between the two groups ( t=0.491, P=0.626; χ 2=0.710, P=0.790). The operation time and postoperative complications of the two groups were recorded and compared, and the correction effect of PST was evaluated. RESULTS All operations were successfully completed, and no urethral injury occurred during operation. The operation time was significantly less in group B than in group A [(70.36±9.76) minutes vs. (96.62±13.18) minutes; t=7.553, P=0.000]. All children were followed up 6-33 months (mean, 13.2 months). There were 5 cases (23.8%) of skin necrosis and 6 cases (28.6%) of scar hyperplasia in group A, and 1 case (4.0%) of skin necrosis and 1 case (4.0%) of scar hyperplasia in group B. The incidence of complication was significantly lower in group B than in group A ( χ 2=3.949, P=0.047; χ 2=5.341, P=0.021). In the evaluation of PST correction at 6 months after operation, there were 15 cases of complete correction and 6 cases of incomplete correction in group A, 24 cases of complete correction and 1 case of incomplete correction in group B, and the difference was significant ( χ 2=5.341, P=0.021). CONCLUSION The penis up transfer method is not only easy to correct PST, but also can correct scrotal separation at the same time, with fewer postoperative complications and satisfactory correction effect of penile scrotal appearance.

Abstract
External male genitalia have rarely been evaluated on fetal ultrasound. Apart from visualization of the penis for fetal sex determination, there are no specific instructions or recommendations from scientific societies. This study aimed to review the current knowledge about prenatal diagnosis of the scrotum and internal structures, with discussion regarding technical aspects and clinical management. We conducted an article search in Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases for studies in English or Spanish language that discussed prenatal scrotal pathologies. We identified 72 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Relevant data were grouped into sections of embryology, ultrasound, pathology, and prenatal diagnosis. The scrotum and internal structures show a wide range of pathologies, with varying degrees of prevalence and morbidity. Most of the reported cases have described incidental findings diagnosed via striking ultrasound signs. Studies discussing normative data or management are scarce.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of the external genitalia is an important part of prenatal ultrasound. However, there is no standardized methodology that includes biometric measurements and normative data to be able to carry out this evaluation. OBJECTIVE To develop a standardized methodology for fetal genital biometry and obtain reference values for use in mid-trimester ultrasound. STUDY DESIGN A prospective cross-sectional study was used. 273 male and 253 female fetuses of normal, singleton pregnancies at 18 to 22 weeks were included. Measurements of fetal penis length, penile width and transverse scrotal diameter in male fetuses and bilabial diameter in female fetuses were performed by transabdominal ultrasound. Reference values were calculated for each gestational week. RESULTS Realization of the open-legs axial plane is described as a working methodology. Normative data for penile length, penile width, transverse scrotal diameter and bilabial diameter are defined, including mean, minimum and maximum values, range, and 5th, 10th, 90th and 95th percentiles. CONCLUSIONS We have provided a standardized methodology using the open-legs axial plane, which would integrate the main measurements. In addition with the normative data constructed from their use, we hope to be able to improve the external genitalia assessment and diagnosis of genital anomalies in mid-trimester ultrasound.

Abstract
Complete penoscrotal transposition is an extremely rare congenital anomaly and is usually associated with other urinary system abnormalities. Prenatal diagnosis is feasible by demonstrating perineal anatomy and its relation with scrotum and phallus. We describe two prenatal cases presenting with oligohydramniosis and megacystis due to lower urinary tract obstruction. Postnatal diagnosis was confirmed in both cases. Considering the dismal perinatal outcome, an accurate prenatal diagnosis is required for counseling the parents and preparing for postnatal care.

Abstract
The most frequent anomaly of the urogenital tract is a simple renal ectopia with one organ lying in the pelvis. Crossed renal ectopia is a less common condition in which the ectopic kidney is located on the opposite side of the midline from the ureteral insertion in the urinary bladder. The cause of both types of renal ectopia is the arrest or failure of the kidney ascent from the pelvic to the lumbar position. Whereas an accelerated ascent leads to a subdiaphragmal or intrathoracic ectopic position, an ectopic ureter can be defined as one that does not drain into the trigonum vesicae. The ectopic orificium can be located situated in the bladder neck and urethra as well as somewhere in the genital area.Exstrophy of the urinary bladder is not a complete ectopia. Because the abdominal wall and the anterior part of the bladder wall are lacking, the bladder mucosa grows directly into the skin. The complex exstrophy of the bladder and intestine corresponds to a cloacal exstrophy, in which the bladder is split in two halves on either side of the gut portion. Testicular ectopia refers to the location of the testis in a position outside of its normal course of descent.Prostatic ectopia does not refer to the wrong location of the entire organ, but to a scattered group of prostate glands, which are mostly found in the submucosal part of the urinary bladder or proximal urethra. Other described locations are the intestinal wall, anus, pericolic fat tissue, spleen, seminal vesicle, testis, and cervix uteri.The associated ectopic penis, scrotum, and penoscrotal transposition are the least common and probably the absolutely most unknown malformations of the male genitalia. The ectopic penis and scrotum are located in the perineum, whereas in the transposition the penis lies above the scrotum.
