Hydrocele en bissac, as coined by Dupuytren in 1834 and later renamed abdominoscrotal, bilocular or hourglass hydrocele (ASH) by Bickle in 1919, is a rare congenital condition in which a hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis develops two large components, one in the scrotum and one in the abdomen, communicating in an hourglass fashion through the inguinal canal.
