  • Title: [Acquired hydrocele in the adult: sclerotherapy].
    Author: Castillo Jimeno JM, González de Garibay AS, Sebastían Borruel JL, Valdivia Uría JG.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1991 Jun; 44(5):627-34. PubMed ID: 1759878.
    Abstract:
    We report our experience in the treatment of hydrocele using sclerosant therapy in 50 patients with adult acquired hydrocele (AAH) or cord cyst (CC). The sclerosing agent utilized in all of the patients was quinacrine dihydrochloride (quinacrine) at a dose of 13.3 mg 50 cc aspirated volume. The results were assessed clinically, ultrasonographically and thermographically. The presence of multilocular cysts or incomplete aspiration of the liquid was the most frequent cause of failure. The results show a success rate of 85%; however, 18% required more than one treatment.
