ABSTRACT: Objective: To describe diagnostic and
therapeutic outcomes of infected vaginal hydrocele.Material and Methods: This
is a retrospective descriptive study over a period of two years from June 2013
to May 2015 at the urological emergency department of Yalgado Ouédraogo
University Hospital (CHU-YO). Results: We collected seven cases during the
period of study. The average age of patients was 35 years. Two patients (2/7)
were from urban and five from rural areas. Five patients (5/7) were married and
two (2/7) unmarried. Six patients (6/7) were farmers and one (1/7) was civil
servent. Clinical examination findings were dominated by bilateral painful
scrotal swelling and fever in all cases, a scrotal necrosis in two cases. The
dominant indication of the puncture-aspiration was discomfort during sexual
intercourse (5/7). At the opening of the scrotum purulent fluid was aspirated
in all cases, and we performed a unilateral orchidectomy in two cases. A
hydrocelectomy was performed in all cases. The postoperative evolution was
simple in all patients. Conclusion: The puncture-aspiration must be avoided
because the risk of infection and the high recurrence rate.
