Abstract
Scrotal ultrasound has been used to confirm the resolution of hydrocele testis after sclerosing with different solutions, and so, early recurrences with a multicystic appearance were occassionally observed. This finding was considered a complication of the sclerosant treatment needing a surgical option [1]. We have observed that a multilocular recurrence of hydrocele after percutaneous sclerosing with polidocanol is frequently followed by spontaneous cure.
