Scrotoschisis is a rare congenital anomaly affecting the scrotum and testes, characterized clinically by defect in scrotal wall extrusion of testicular tissue. This literature review based on reports gathered from PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar using relevant keywords to explore underlying basic science this condition. The etiology mechanism scrotoschisis development remain largely unknown, with only theoretical explanations lack empirical evidence regarding its pathogenesis, which thought be linked embryological abnormalities during formation. Diagnosing typically involves straightforward visual examination extruded testes immediately after birth, although clinical presentations may vary, being either unilateral or bilateral. Surgical intervention, primarily through orchidopexy, generally beneficial for repositioning closing defects, preventing potential complications. prognosis individuals favorable, long-term function has been inadequately documented. Further research, including additional investigations involving animal models studies, warranted enhance our understanding
