Extratesticular varicocoele is a common clinical finding, with well recognized sonographic appearances. We report the ultrasound findings in a patient with intratesticular varicocoele (ITV), an extremely rare entity, which was an incidental finding during scrotal sonography. There are differences in both the imaging findings and clinical presentation from previously reported cases. The history of undescended testis and subsequent orchidopexy in our patient contribute to the aetiology of the ITV.
睾丸外精索静脉曲张是一种常见的临床发现,具有公认的超声表现。我们报告了一例睾丸内精索静脉曲张(ITV)患者的超声检查结果,这是一种极其罕见的情况,是在阴囊超声检查时偶然发现的。其影像学表现和临床表现与先前报道的病例均有所不同。我们患者的隐睾病史及随后的睾丸固定术促成了ITV的病因。
