摘要
This work aims to investigate high-frequency ultrasound findings in epididymal malformations and their clinical significance. Eighty-five of 9,849 patients who had been examined using high-frequency ultrasound for infertility, varicocele, scrotal swelling, and so on had epididymal malformations. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the ultrasound findings of epididymal malformations in these 85 patients. There were a total of 117 malformed epididymides in 85 patients with epididymal malformations. The detection rate of epididymal malformations using high-frequency ultrasound was 0.86 % (85/9,849). High-frequency ultrasound can be used to diagnose epididymal malformation and seminiferous duct blockage.
