Intratesticular and extratesticular varicocele: Ultrasound and doppler appearance

Abstract

Extratesticular varicocele is a commonly encountered condition affecting young male adults. Intratesticular varicocele is a rare entity seen invariably in association with extratesticular variety. Characteristic appearances on B-mode and Doppler ultrasound evaluation help in confirming the diagnosis. We present a case of a 17-year-old male who complains of scrotal swelling and dull-aching left testicular pain for 3 months. Ultrasound and Doppler evaluation was performed which aided in confirmation of diagnosis.
