Endorectal coil MR imaging findings in Hemospermia
1999Co-Authors: Riccardo Lencioni, Simona Ortori, Dania Cioni, Girolamo Morelli, Enrico Ceretti, Mirco Cosottini, Ilario Menchi, Carlo BartolozziAbstract:The purpose of this study was to illustrate the spectrum of abnormalities found at endorectal coil magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with Hemospermia. Ninety patients aged between 23 and 71 years (mean age 41 years) presenting with Hemospermia underwent evaluation with endorectal coil MR imaging at 1.5 T. Duration of Hemospermia ranged between 5 days and 4 years (mean 15 months). MR examination protocol included T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) and T2-weighted fast SE MR images obtained in the sagittal, coronal, and axial planes. Abnormalities were observed on endorectal-coil MR images in 49 of 90 patients (54%). Blood within the seminal vesicle or the ejaculatory duct was recognized in 23 of 90 patients (25%). Dilatation of the seminal vesicles or the ejaculatory duct was observed in 31 of 90 patients (34%). Cystic lesions were identified in 14 cases, eight of which involved the utriculus and six the ejaculatory duct. Calculi within the seminal vesicles were depicted in seven patients. No malignant disease was demonstrated. In conclusion, despite the evidence that Hemospermia is most often a benign and self-limiting condition, we found that endorectal coil MR imaging can detect abnormal findings in more than half of the patients, and may be helpful in assessing the level at which hemorrhage occurred and in defining the cause of the disease.

magnetic resonance imaging in Hemospermia
1997Co-Authors: In R Cho, Moo S Lee, Koon Ho Rha, Sung Joon Hong, Seok Soon Park, Myeong Joon KimAbstract:ABSTRACTPurpose: We evaluated the prostate and seminal tract with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with Hemospermia.Materials and Methods: To evaluate the prostate and seminal tract in 17 patients 20 to 59 years old (mean age 44) with Hemospermia we performed transrectal ultrasound and MRI using an endorectal surface coil with a 1.5 tesla unit. Mean duration of Hemospermia was 32 months (1 week to 16 years).Results: Abnormalities were noted on transrectal ultrasound in 15 of the 17 patients (88%) and on MRI in all. Of the 12 cases of hemorrhage 10 involved the seminal vesicle and 2 involved the ejaculatory duct. There were 12 cystic lesions, including 7 in the mullerian and 5 in the ejaculatory ducts. Of 19 cases calculi were detected in the prostate in 5, seminal vesicle in 8, and ejaculatory and mullerian duct cysts in 4 and 2, respectively. There was 1 case of prostatic atrophy and 1 wolffian duct anomaly associated with an ejaculatory duct cyst, ectopic ureterocele and absence of the left ...

transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of persistent or recurrent Hemospermia a single institution experience
2009Co-Authors: Zhiyong Liu, Yinghao Sun, Jianguo Hou, Xu Gao, Linhui Wang, Xiaofeng GaoAbstract:The diagnosis and treatment of Hemospermia presents significant difficulty, especially if it persists or recurs. In this retrospective study, we assessed whether transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is feasible and effective in the diagnosis and treatment of Hemospermia. To address this complex condition, we report our experience in a population of patients treated with transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy. From February 2006 to July 2008, 72 hemospermic patients underwent transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy examination and treatment at our urology center. Transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy was performed by a 7-F or 8-F rigid ureteroscope. The endoscopic procedure was conducted through the normal anatomic route of the seminal tracts. In this series, the mean follow-up period was 21.7 months. Definite diagnosis was made for 93.1% patients, and 94.4% patients were cured or showed a decrease in their symptoms. Postoperative complications were not observed in the study. Our study proves that transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is effective in the diagnosis and treatment of Hemospermia with minimal complication.
