Spermatozoal morphology in semen specimens from 107 subfertile men with varicocele, aged from 18 to 50 years, were evaluated from Papanicolaou-stained smears, in order to investigate: (a) the frequency of abnormalities in the neck and tail of spermatozoa with an abnormal head; and (b) the ability of prediction of the morphology of one sperm part when the morphology of another is known. It was found that: (1) Morphological abnormalities in the neck are significantly more frequent (p less than 0.01) in spermatozoa with an abnormal head than in spermatozoa with a normal head. (2) Morphological abnormalities in the tail and cytoplasmic droplet are also more frequent, although not significantly, in spermatozoa with an abnormal head. (3) The proportional reduction in error (PRE) was low in all cases. Our results show that spermatozoa with abnormal heads present morphological abnormalities of their other parts more often than spermatozoa with normal heads. However, no prediction can be made on the nature of the morphology of a part of a spermatozoon on the basis of knowledge of the morphology of another of its parts.
（a）头部异常的精子颈部和尾部的异常频率；（b）当已知一个精子部分的形态时，预测另一个精子部分形态的能力，对107名年龄在18至50岁之间患有精索静脉曲张的不育男性精液标本中的精子形态进行了巴氏染色涂片评估。结果发现：（1）头部异常的精子颈部形态异常明显更频繁（p小于0.01），高于头部正常的精子。（2）尾部和细胞质滴的形态异常在头部异常的精子中也更频繁，尽管不显著。（3）所有情况下的误差比例减少（PRE）都很低。我们的结果表明，头部异常的精子比头部正常的精子其他部分出现形态异常的情况更频繁。然而，根据精子另一部分的形态无法预测其某一部分形态的性质。
