Hydrocele is a collection of peritoneal fluid that accumulates in the scrotum through a small passage called the processus vaginalis.
Pathophysiology
Alternatively, hydroceles can be divided into those that represent a persistent communication with the abdominal cavity and those that do not. Fluid excesses are from exogenous sources (the abdomen) in communicating hydroceles, whereas noncommunicating hydroceles develop increased scrotal fluid from abnormal intrinsic scrotal fluid shifts. With communicating hydroceles, simple Valsalva maneuvers probably account for the classic variation in size during day-sleep cycles. Noncommunicating hydroceles may result from increased fluid production or impaired fluid absorption.
