Congenital bilateral scrotal agenesis is very rare anomaly and characterized by the absence of scrotal rugae. It may be associated with other extra-genital anomalies as a part of a syndrome. Etiology is unknown but may be due to primary failure of labioscrotal folds development or secondary to localized 5-alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency. Various surgical techniques used for neoscrotum construction with different types of complications. In index case, we performed bilateral orchidopexy without creating neoscrotum.
