[Scrotal ultrasound in inflammatory lesions].
Ultrasounds were performed in 45 patients with scrotal inflammatory processes. 12/15 patients with epididymitis had hypoechoic areas and 3/15 hyperechoic ares in the epididymis; hyperechoic areas were seen in 13/15 cases with epididymo-orchitis, while in 2/15 patients we found hypoechoic areas in the testicle and hyperechoic in the epididymis; and in 15/15 cases with epididymo-testicular abscesses the areas found were hypoechoic of heterogeneous patterns.
