Hydrocele
Dr Suharjendro H, SpU
Hydrocele
Normally, the processus vaginalis is obliterated
from the internal inguinal ring to the upper
scrotum, leaving a small potential space in the
scrotum that partially surrounds the testis
Embryologic misadventures may occur and results
in (hydrocele, hydrocele of the cord, and
communicating hydrocele).
Simple Hydrocele
Simple (scrotal) hydrocele is an accumulation of
fluid within the tunica vaginalis
Results from persistence of or delayed closure of the
processus vaginalis
Commonly seen at birth, frequently bilateral, may
be quite large. They transilluminate and may seem
quite tense but not painful
Most resolve during the first 2 years of life
If surgical repair is elected, an inguinal approach
should be used
Communicating Hydrocele
Persistence of the processus
vaginalis which allows peritoneal
fluid to communicate with the
scrotum
The classic description is that of a
hydrocele that changes in size
It can be compressible during
examination
All should be fixed using an
inguinal approach
Do it bilateral if patient got VP
shunt or on peritoneal dialysis
Hydrocele of the Cord
Segmental closure of the
processus, which leaves a
loculated hydrocele of the
cord
Presents as a painless
groin mass which is
mobile and
transilluminates
Inguinal exploration and
high ligation is curative
Manifestation
painless scrotal cystic mass
It may change in size
(communicating with the
peritoneal cavity) or may not
(not communicating)
(+) Cross fluctuation and
Transillumination test.
US confirm the diagnosis.
