RESUMO
The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a potentially fatal entity that occurs as a result of an acute increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). The authors report on a girl with a giant ovarian cystic mass, and clinical signs of ACS and intracranial hypertension (ΙΗ). The possible mechanism of IH secondary to ACS is discussed.

Mesothelial cysts of the spermatic cord (MCSC) are a rare entity. A 2-year-old cryptorchid boy with an inguinal mass was found to have a MCSC which was confused with undescended testis. The testis was readily placed into the hemiscrotum after excision of the cyst. MCSC may present as undescended testis and may be an unusual cause of acquired cryptorchidism. It should be excised and the inguinal canal should be explored for the existence of an undescended testis.
