Abstract
Ultrasonography is exceptionally well suited to study of scrotum and its contents. Sonography is simple to perform, rapid, non-invasive relatively inexpensive, easily reproducible, widely available and does not involve irradiation of gonads. 100 cases of scrotal pathology were studied using High-frequency real time gray scale ultrasonography and Doppler study in our institution, during the period October 2009 to September 2011, were included in this study. 32 cases were detected have inflammatory scrotal pathology on high frequency US and Doppler study. Chronic Epididymo orchitis was the commonest inflammatory pathology detected, noted in 12 cases (37.5 %). Next most frequent inflammatory pathology detected was acute Epididymo orchitis, noted in nine cases (21.8%). High frequency ultrasonography is highly sensitive in distinguishing scrotal mass as either testicular or testicular masses and is clearly superior to clinical diagnosis. High frequency ultrasonography with Doppler is highly sensitive in demonstrating the varicoceles. When compared to physical examination, it is highly sensitive in detecting sub clinical cases of varicoceles.
