KEYWORDS: Filaria Dance Sign (FDS), HRUS of Scrotum, Scrotal Filariasis, Wuchereria Bancrofti
JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Medical Imaging, Vol.11 No.1, January 27, 2021
ABSTRACT: Objective: To study the value of the filarial dance sign as a diagnostic sign in scrotal ultrasonography in human Bancroftian filariasis. Methods: We studied 3 patients with scrotal pain, with high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) of scrotum including power and color Doppler study. All patients underwent peripheral blood smear. Results: Multiple cystic spaces containing motile echogenic twisted tubular structures were observed in the 3 patients. Peripheral blood smears in the 3 patients confirmed the presence of microfilaria. Mild hydrocele in two patients. Conclusions: HRUS is a useful technique for diagnosing scrotal filariasis in symptomatic patients and is very useful in the follow-up treatment.
