Transcatheter embolization of an arteriovenous malformation of the scrotum.
There are several vascular abnormalities that could affect the scrotum. The commonest is a varicocele, and differentiation between this and other lesions is possible using Doppler ultrasound and pelvic angiography. A patient with a scrotal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is presented in whom transcatheter embolization was possible.
