male pelvis Flashcards
muscles in the scrotum
cremaster muscles
normal testis length
3 to 5 cm
normal testis width
2 to 4 cm
normal testis height
3 cm
normal epi measurement
6-7 cm
how does the epi course
superior then posterolateral
normal epi head measurment
6 - 15 mm
appendix testis
embryonic remants of mullerian ducts
what covers the testis and is dense fibrous tissue
tunica albuginea
job of mediastinum
supports the vessels and ducts coursing within the testis
2 layers of the tunica vaginalis
partietal and visceral
what does the tunica vaginalis line
the inner walls of the scrotum
also covers each testis and epi
the parietal layer of the tunica vaginalis covers
scrotal wall
the visceral layer of the tunica vaginalis covers the
testis and epi
the ductus epi becomes the
vas deferens
10 to 15 efferent ductules converge to form the
ductus epi
the spermatic cord extends from
the scrotum through inguinal canal to pelvis
primary blood flow to the testis
right and left testicular arteries
capsular arteries give rise to
centripetal arteries
the centripetal arteries form the
centrifugal arteries
doppler of the testis arteries
low resistance
where does the pampiniform plexus exit from
the mediastinum
right testi vein drains into
IVC
left testi vein drains into
left renal vein
scrotal trauma complications
hydrocele
pyocele
hematocele
causes of hydrocele
trauma
torsion
unknown
neoplasm
epi-orchitis
most common cause of painless scrotal swelling
hydrocele
pyocele occurs with
untreated infection
hematoceles assoc. w/
trauam/surgery/neoplasms/torsion
testicular rupture on ultrasound
wall thickening
hematocele
irregular contour
focal alteration of testicular parenchymal pattern
testicular hematoma assoc. w/
trauma
testi hematoma on ultrasound
hetero area within scrotum
avascular
epididymitis most often caused by
bacteria
sti’s
epididymitis on ultrasound
increased vascularity
most common cause of acute scrotal pain
epi-orchitis
epi-orchitis results from
spread of lower urinary tract
infection
most common STI
symptoms of epi-orchitis
fever
urethral discharge
testis infarction results from
severe orchitis
swollen testis is confined within
tunica albuginea
testis infarct on u.s
hetero pattern
infarct area hypo
decreased or absent color doppler
what is affected first with torsion
venous flow
torsion on u.s 4 to 6 hrs
hypo and swollen
torsion on u.s 24 hrs
hetero
infarct
necrosis
hemorrhage
epi cyst
asymptomatic
thin walls
posterior enhancement
what is a spermatocele
cystic dilatations of the efferent ductules
where is a spermatocele always located
in the epi head
spermatocele can be seen more after a
vasectomy
spermatocele on ultrasound
simple cyst
multilocular cyst containing internal echoes
tunica albuginea cyst
can become large and cause displacement
how to differentiate a hydrocele from tunica albuginea cyst
hydroceles do not distort the testis
