[The enigma of varicocele in children].
After a review of the literature and their own experience, the authors relate the various dilemmas of infantile varicocele. These dilemmas are diagnostic and therapeutic. On the basis of clinical, epidemiological, etiological and pathological studies, the authors conclude that grade III and grade II varicoceles associated with testicular hypotrophy must be operated, while the others must be followed.
