ABSTRACT

Hydrocele is an abnormal benign collection of serous fluid between the parietal and visceral layers of the tunica vaginalis. From an etiologic standpoint, it can be grouped as congenital or acquired. Congenital hydrocele is caused by a patent processus vaginalis and consequent communication between the tunica vaginalis and the peritoneal cavity. Defective lymphatic drainage of the tunica vaginalis and the capillary filtration pressure are factors for the formation of acquired hydrocele. Diagnosis is made by physical examination and the patient’s history. Transillumination of the scrotum and the echography are important for the confirmation of the diagnosis. The treatment options are: open surgery, endoscopic surgery and sclerotherapy.
