  ABSTRACT: Bilateral Abdominoscrotal Hydrocele (ASH) is very rare in children and difficult to suspect on clinical examination. Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) is very unusual presentation of scrotal hydrocele with dumbbell-shaped extension intra abdominally through deep inguinal ring either communicating to peritoneal cavity or non-communicating. No theory can explain exact development of ASH though many theories have been proposed in literature. An abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a congenital pathology involving a scrotal hydrocele expanding through the inguinal canal and reaching the abdominal cavity (pars abdominalis). A simple hydrocele is commonly diagnosed clinically, where as an abdominoscrotal hydrocele is rare and should be differentiated from other cystic lesions of the abdominal cavity in children.
