Sonographically the acute epididymitis usually shows enlargement of the epididymal head with decreased echogenicity secondary to edema. A reactive hydrocele may be present. Color Doppler findings include an increased amount of flow in and around the epididymis. If an abscess has formed, complex cystic areas may be identified in the epididymis.
