“…Un estudio anterior informó de que la diferencia entre volumen testicular aumenta en grados superiores de un varicocele izquierdo 10 . Por el contrario, un estudio informó de que el grado de varicocele no se correlaciona con el volumen testicular en el afectado 11 .…”

“…2,3,33 Thomas and Elder 20 reported testicular atrophy in grade 2 and 3 varicoceles. Zini et al 23 showed relative atrophy of the ipsilateral testis and a mean volume difference of 1.1 ml in patients with grade 1 and 2 varicoceles; testicular atrophy was directly related to the clinical grade of varicocele. In another study, the same group noted testicular atrophy in subclinical varicoceles, as well.…”

“…Varicoceles might lead to progressive atrophy of the testes, 3,[20][21][22][23]33,34 but this atrophy is not predictive of fertility status. 2,3,33 Thomas and Elder 20 reported testicular atrophy in grade 2 and 3 varicoceles.…”

“…10 Ipsilateral testicular atrophy also may occur in patients with varicocele. 3,[20][21][22][23] Venous stasis secondary to varicocele might prevent sufficient blood supply to the testis. 24 We hypothesized that venous stasis in the hemiscrotum due to varicocele might cause a change in arterial resistance, which might play a role in progressive testicular atrophy.…”

“…La varicocèle ou dilatation des veines du plexus pampiniforme perturbe la spermatogenèse (congestion et élévation locale de température) et aboutit à l'atrophie testiculaire : l'atrophie est proportionnelle au grade de la varicocèle et est réversible, chez l'adolescent, si le traitement est précoce [39,40].…”

L'échographie scrotale fournit à l'andrologue des informations iconographiques, susceptibles de changer fondamentalement la prise en charge du patient hypofertile. La recherche de signes d'obstruction canalaire, la détection de pathologies testiculaires infracliniques et l'évaluation de la perfusion testiculaire sont les véritables challenges pour le radiologue. L'échographie du contenu scrotal doit être proposée à tout patient qui consulte pour infertilité, au même titre que le bilan biologique et spermiologique, car elle oriente le diagnostic clinique, permet la détection de pathologie occulte et influence la stratégie thérapeutique. Mots clés Infertilité · Échographie scrotale · RadiologueAbstract Scrotal ultrasound provides andrologist iconographic informations likely to fundamentally change the management of subfertile patients. Looking for tubular obstructive signs, the detection of infraclinic testicular pathologies and the testicular perfusion evaluation are the real challenges for the radiologist. Ultrasonography of the scrotal contents should be offered to all patients who consulted for infertility, as well as biological and spermiological assessment, because it directs clinical diagnosis, allows the detection of occult disease and influence therapeutic strategy.
