Which sonographic technique is used to document varicocele?
- A.
Expiration
- B.
Inspiration
- C.
Valsalva maneuver
- D.
Quiet respiration
Correct Answer
C. Valsalva maneuverExplanation
The Valsalva maneuver is a sonographic technique used to document varicocele. During this maneuver, the patient is asked to bear down as if having a bowel movement, which increases intra-abdominal pressure. This helps to detect and assess the presence of varicoceles by causing them to dilate and become more visible on the ultrasound image. The other options, expiration, inspiration, and quiet respiration, do not involve the necessary increase in intra-abdominal pressure to effectively visualize varicoceles.Rate this question:

What changes can occur in approximately 40% of the postvascectomy patients?
- A.
Atrophy of the scrotal sac
- B.
Enlargement of the epididymis
- C.
Infarction of one or both testis
- D.
Hyperemia of one or both testis
Correct Answer
B. Enlargement of the epididymisExplanation
Approximately 40% of postvasectomy patients can experience enlargement of the epididymis. This is because the vasectomy procedure involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens, which can lead to congestion and swelling in the epididymis. This enlargement is usually temporary and resolves on its own over time. Atrophy of the scrotal sac, infarction of one or both testis, and hyperemia of one or both testis are not common changes that occur in postvasectomy patients.Rate this question:
