Evaluation of Scrotal Pathologies by High-Resolution Ultrasound and Color Doppler
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Applied Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Based on physical examination alone it is difficult to make clinical diagnosis accurately of scrotal pathologies. In this study we have studied 74 patients who presented with scrotal swelling or pain or both or with mass lesion in the surgery department and were referred to Radiodiagnosis department for USG from Feb 2011 to August 2012. These patients were evaluated with High-Resolution USG (HRUS) and Colour Doppler USG (CDUS) whenever needed. Differentiation of testicular-extratesticular lesion, cystic-solid lesions, acute inflammatory pathology or torsion of testis, Hernia-mass lesion is made easy and is of great diagnostic value by USG. The localization of ectopic /undescended testis is also done with USG. In this study, Final diagnosis was Extratesticular fluid collection in 14 cases, Acute inflammation (orchitis as well as epididymitis) in 16 cases, Chronic inflammation in 6 cases, Varicocele in 10 cases, Scrotal Hernias in 7 cases, Testicular tumor in 2 cases, Undescended testis in 2 cases, Torsion testis in 3 cases, Extra testicular abscess in 2 cases, Epididymal cyst in 4 cases, Spermatocele in 2 cases, Hematocele in 2 cases, Pyocele in 2 cases, Testicular infarct in 1 case and Fournier’s gangrene in 1 case.
