Spermatic cord hydrocele is a collection of fluid along the spermatic cord that lies superior to the testis and does not communicate with the scrotal sac. It is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from abnormal closure of the processus vaginalis. If the fluid collection persists after closure of the processus vaginalis, it results in a hydrocele of cord (hydrocele of canal of Nuck in females) or a non-communicating hydrocele.
