Nineteen male infants died with a large omphalocele and 52% had associated cryptorchidism. However, two different groups with both omphalocele and cryptorchidism were recognized: (1) Eleven patients with omphalocele without brain malformation and an incidence of undescended testes not significantly different from the normal population; (2) Eight patients with omphalocele and brain malformation all having cryptorchidism. A comparison of the groups indicated that intact intraabdominal pressure during intrauterine life is not a main driving force of testicular descent, whereas normal testicular descent may occur only when the brain is normally developed. Whenever a child with omphalocele and cryptorchidism is examined, careful evaluation of the central nervous system is indicated. This triad of malformations may have prognostic and therapeutic implications.
