  2. Scrotal ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrotal_ultrasound

    The ultrasound findings of intravaginal torsion vary with the duration and the degree of rotation of the spermatic cord. Gray scale ultrasound may appear normal if the torsion just occurs. At 4–6 hours after onset of torsion, enlarged testis with decreased echogenicity is seen.

  3. Sperm granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_granuloma

    A 45 year old man presented with right testicular chronic pain. He had a vasectomy 7 years ago. Upon physical examination and an ultrasound, a solid nodule in the right epididymis was found, and medical staff suspected a tumor. After findings of sperm that had undergone phagocytosis, a final diagnosis of sperm granuloma was determined. [14]

  4. Varicocele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicocele

    Manual examination of scrotum is required for proper interpretation of ultrasound images. During ultrasound examination, diameters of veins in pampiniform plexus are measured and regurgitation is measured. The subject is then instructed to stand up and Valsalva maneuver is performed. The diameter is then measured and changes in blood flow ...

  5. Hydrocele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocele

    There is a smooth oval swelling near the spermatic cord which is liable to be mistaken for an inguinal hernia. The swelling moves downwards and becomes less mobile if the testis is pulled gently downwards. Rarely, a hydrocele develops in a remnant of the processus vaginalis somewhere along the course of the spermatic cord.

  6. Testicular torsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_torsion

    Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord (from which the testicle is suspended) twists, cutting off the blood supply to the testicle. [3] The most common symptom in children is sudden, severe testicular pain. [1] The testicle may be higher than usual in the scrotum and vomiting may occur.

  7. Spermatic cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatic_cord

    The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis, is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia. Each testicle develops in the lower ...

  8. Spermatocele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatocele

    Spermatocele is a fluid-filled cyst that develops in the epididymis. [3] The fluid is usually a clear or milky white color and may contain sperm. [4] Spermatoceles are typically filled with spermatozoa [5] and they can vary in size from several millimeters to many centimeters.

  9. Pampiniform plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pampiniform_plexus

    The pampiniform plexus (from Latin pampinus 'tendril' and forma 'form') is a venous plexus – a network of many small veins found in the human male spermatic cord, and the suspensory ligament of the ovary. In the male, it is formed by the union of multiple testicular veins from the back of the testis and tributaries from the epididymis.
