Abstract
A hydrocele is produced by transudation or exudation of fluid between the testicular membranes. This condition is usually unilateral and can be seen at any age. Hydrocele fluid can be colorless, clear yellowish, cloudy, or pinkish red. The extension of the hydrocele depends upon the condition of the tunica vaginalis: (1) if the obliteration of the processus vaginalis is delayed or does not take place, then herniation of the intestinal segments into the scrotum and a hydrocele may occur; (2) if the obliteration is complete and there is accumulation of fluid around the testis, then a simple hydrocele exists; (3) if the obliteration occurs above the testis and below the peritoneal cavity, then the hydrocele is localized on the cord.
