title: [Epididymal manifestations of urogenital tuberculosis].
abstract: The morbidity of tuberculous epididymitis is due to the risk of male infertility secondary to vasal or epididymal obstruction or testicular necrosis. The aim of this study was to emphasize the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutical aspects of tuberculous epididymitis in adult. About eleven cases of epididymal localisation of urogenital tuberculosis, it appears that the diagnosis of the condition is rather difficult and often necessitate pathological exam of a specimen of epididymectomy. In other aspects, if antituberculous drugs are always effective in initial stages, surgery is usually radical, and rarely conservative. The latter procedures are vasovasostomy or vasoepididymostomy whose results are very hazardous.
