 | | Author(s): Shakeri Bavil A * | | Assistant Prof., Dept. of Radiology, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences Shakeribavil @ yahoo.com | | Study Type: Original | Subject: Medicine | | | Article abstract: | | Background: Background: Varicocele is defined as an abnormal venous dilatation of the pampinformis plexus, a common finding that have been reported in approximately 10-15% of adult men. Since now, a few studies on testicular artery parameters have been performed. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in peak systolic velocity of testicular arteries in patients with varicocele.
Materials and Methods: twenty eight patients with clinical diagnosis of left, right or bilateral varicocele with scrotal vein diameter of more that 2.5 mm on their color doppler ultrasonography were included in this study.
Results: Peak systolic velocity of intratesticular and testicular arteries of men with varicocele was not significantly different from those of controls who had no varicoceles.
Conclusion: Varicocele does not significantly alter the testicular peak systolic velocity.
