A rare type of pinched inguinal hernia
Cryptorchidism is known to occur in 0.18-3.6% of the population. Impingement of an undescended testicle in the inguinal canal has been described in 1.9% of cases as one of the complications of cryptorchidism along with volvulus and malignant degeneration (up to 15-40%). In 20-80% of cases, cryptorchidism is combined with inguinal hernia. Endocrine insufficiency in cryptorchidism occurs in 4-5% of cases.
