Epididymal ultrasonographic findings in case of obstructive pathology.

Epididymal ultrasonography has proved effective in finding anatomic obstructive alterations affecting the epididymis. The authors investigated two groups: 1. Bilateral vas agenesia (20 epididymis)--(sensitivity of EUS--100%) 2. Normozoospermic noninfertile patients (before different surgical exploration)--(45 epididymis) EUS resulted "ideal" epididymis in 36 out of 45. EUS was "altered" in 9 cases. They call the attention for the impotence of EUS investigation in andrology.
