Scrotal infections

A free gallery of high-resolution, ultrasound, color doppler and 3D images

1) Filariasis of scrotum:

These sonographic images of the scrotum of a 65 yr. old male patient known to have filariasis reveal a markedly thickened scrotal wall. The testes itself appears normal. Multiple, hypoechoic tubular channels are seen in the scrotum. These ultrasound images suggest lymphedema of the scrotal wall following filariasis. Images taken using a Toshiba Nemio 30 color doppler machine, courtesy of Dr. Jaydeep Gandhi, Mumbai, India.

2) Testicular abscess:

This middle aged male patient had a history of drainage of scrotal abscess a few months back. he now presented with discharge, pain and swelling of the right half of the scrotum. Sonography of the scrotum revealed: a) a hypoechoic (almost cystic) lesion with shaggy walls within the right testes with b) another similar lesion extending from the first lesion. c) Color Doppler imaging/ and Power Doppler imaging confirm marked increase in vascularity around both lesions suggesting marked hyperemia and severe right orchitis. These ultrasound images are diagnostic of testicular abscess (right) with extension outside the testes. The left testes also shows evidence of mild orchitis.
