Title: Bilateral Cryptorchidism in Silver-Russell Syndrome: Initial Experience with Laparoscopic Orchiopexy
Abstract: Joong Geun Lee, Sang Hyub Lee, Seung Hyun Jeon, Jin Il Kim, Koo Han Yoo From the Department of Urology, School of Medicine, Kyung Hee University, Seoul, Korea Silver-Russel syndrome (SRS) is a disorder present at birth that involves poor growth, low birth weight, differences in the size of the two sides of the body, and genital anomalies. The diagnosis is based on distinct prenatal growth restriction and the presence of typical dysmorphic features, including short stature and limb asymmetry. We report a case of bilateral cryptorchidism with no other genital anomalies in SRS. This report provides an overview of the genital anomalies of SRS and describes, for the first time, a laparoscopic orchiopexy in SRS. (Korean J Urol 2009;50:615-618)
