What is 1428: Ultrasonography in Patients with Scrotal Pain about?

## Materials and Methods: The above mentioned study was carried out on an ALOKA ultrasound machine using linear transducers. Background: Ultrasound is an extremely powerful , sharp and accurate modality for the diagnosis of scrotal diseases.Its advantage lies in being non-invasive, bedside and providing extremely high resolution images. The new generation, state-of-the -art machines offer extremely accurate and quick diagnosis which helps in prompt management. Results: We analysed around thirty patients of different age groups in whom there was a clinical suspicion of scrotal pathology. Out of the thirty cases, about ten were having inflammatory etiology (mostly orchitis and epididymitis), ten cases had varicoceles, seven cases had a vascular etiology (torsion). The remaning three were of neoplastic etiology. Varicoceles are probably the commonest findings we encounter in patients for a scrotal Doppler. They are usually contributory towards male infertility and are easily correctable. Epididymitis and Orchitis are commonly seen in young reproductive males with history of Urinary Tract Infection.The acute inflammation is promptly picked up on the high resolution ultrasound machines
