Intratesticular varicocele, a rare condition affecting less than 2% of symptomatic men, presents with characteristic sonographic features. This study details its appearance and occurrence using conventional and Doppler sonography.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Intratesticular varicocele is a rare vascular anomaly within the testis.
  • Understanding its sonographic characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the conventional and Doppler sonographic appearances of intratesticular varicoceles.
  • To determine the incidence of intratesticular varicoceles.

Main Methods:

  • Conventional and Doppler sonography were performed on 1040 men with testicular issues.
  • Eighteen patients diagnosed with intratesticular varicocele underwent detailed sonographic and Doppler examination.

Main Results:

  • Intratesticular varicocele was identified in 1.7% of patients (18/1040).

  • The condition was bilateral in 7 patients and unilateral in 11, with 48% affecting the right side.
  • Sonographic findings included tubular or oval dilated veins, with diameters ranging from 2-8 mm and a mean venous flow velocity of 2.8 cm/sec.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intratesticular varicocele is an uncommon finding, observed in less than 2% of symptomatic men.
    • Characteristic sonographic features include dilated intratesticular veins near the mediastinum testis.
    • This study noted variations such as oval shapes, increased bilateral occurrences, and isolated right-sided presentations compared to prior reports.
