dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) is an important tool for diagnosis of scrotal diseases because of its ability to depict anatomy and perfusion in real time. Diagnosis of scrotal diseases has always been a challenge for the clinician due to non-specific signs and symptoms. The causes of scrotal swelling are broadly classified as neoplastic and non-neoplastic. This distinction between these is important because the plan for the management differ in each cause .Ultrasonography plays a major role in distinguishing neoplastic and nonneoplastic scrotal pathologies. To determine the role of color Doppler ultrasonography as a routine investigational method for diagnosis of scrotal pathologies. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study (case series) was carried out over a period of 12 months on 50 patients in the age range of 0 to 80 years, presenting with scrotal swellings and pain. After adequate history and examination, B mode and CDUS was performed. The CDUS findings were compared with final outcome, based on course and outcome of the disease, fine needle aspiration cytology results and operative findings. Results: In our study the final diagnoses were acute epididymitis or epididymo-orchitis (7), hydrocele (6), varicocele (7), testicular malignancy (5), orchitis (1), testicular torsion (1), hematocele (3), spermatocele (2) and others. Conclusion: Color Doppler ultrasonography is an excellent method for evaluating patients with scrotal pathologies. It aids in diagnosing testicular tumors and reduces the number of unnecessary explorations. It is especially important in conditions like testicular torsion where immediate diagnosis is required.en_US
