Epididymal anomalies associated with patent processus vaginalis in hydrocele and cryptorchidism.
The epididymal anomalies and patent processus vaginalis are frequently seen in patients with cryptorchidism or hydrocele. We performed a prospective study on the relationship between the epididymal anomalies and the patency of the processus vaginalis in boys with hydrocele (190 cases) or cryptorchidism (89 cases) who were treated from August 1997 to February 2000 (mean age, 51 months; range, 12...
متن کاملEpididymal anomalies in boys with undescended testis or hydrocele: Significance of testicular location.
BACKGROUND Epididymal anomalies and patent processus vaginalis are frequently found in boys with cryptorchidism or hydrocele. We conducted this study to evaluate the association between epididymal anomalies and testicular location or patent processus vaginalis in boys with undescended testis or hydrocele. METHODS Children undergoing surgery with undescended testis (group A, 136 boys and 162 t...
متن کاملRelevance of herniography for accurate diagnosis of patent processus vaginalis in cryptorchidism.
OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of peritoneography in assessing the patency of processus vaginalis (PV) in pediatric patients diagnosed with cryptorchidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS We designed a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the patency of PV in boys presenting cryptorchidism. Herniography was performed in 310 prepubertal boys. Data about the morphology of PV was compared with operative ...
متن کاملDistal intussusception of processus vaginalis: a cause of acute hydrocele.
Acute obstruction of a patent processus vaginalis occurred in two boys, mimicking incarceration of an inguinal hernia. In fact, obstruction was caused by an intussusception of the processus vaginalis forming an intussuscipiens that occluded the hernia sac. This lesion, described previously in 1896 and in 1974, is one of the mechanisms by which an asymptomatic hernia or hydrocele becomes acutely...
متن کاملRelationship between the persistence of the processus vaginalis and age in patients with cryptorchidism.
OBJECTIVES To assess if there is an age group where the occurrence of persistent processus vaginalis is more frequent in patients with cryptorchidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 24 fetuses with gestational age between 23 and 35 weeks postconception (control group) and 102 patients (137 testes) with cryptorchidism aged between 1 and 33 years (mean 10.3 years). We considered 2 situations ...
