鞘膜积液(英国英语:hydrocoele、阴囊积水)表示浆液(serous fluid)在体腔内的病变积累。

睾丸鞘膜积液是围绕睾丸的流体积累,并且是相当普遍的。它是由腹膜(peritoneum)缠绕著睾丸体的部分、称为鞘膜(tunica vaginalis),所分泌之流体引起的。目前只要没有疝气,1岁以下小孩的鞘膜积液,通常会自行痊愈。原发性鞘膜积液可能发展在成年期、尤其是老年人,在炎热的国家尤为常见,经由浆液性液体、大概是由受损的重吸收所引起的,这似乎是最主要的鞘膜积液的解释,虽然原因还不清楚。 鞘膜积液也可是反复性地经由班氏丝虫(Wuchereria bancrofti)或马来丝虫(Brugia malayi)的慢性感染、或非洲东南亚地区的两种蚊子传播的寄生虫等所引起的"插销性腹股沟淋巴系统"(Inguinal lymph node)的结果。因此,如果发病条件会是较弥漫性的后遗症(sequela)之一部分、通常被称为象皮病(elephantiasis),这也影响在身体其它部分的淋巴系统

病因

Thumb
交通性鞘膜积液,由鞘突(processus vaginalis)闭合失败所引起.

鞘膜积液可以通过四种方式产生:

原发性鞘膜积液

继发性鞘膜积液

小儿鞘膜积液

先天性鞘膜积液

精索成囊鞘膜积液

临床特征及诊断

A primary hydrocele is described as having the following characteristics:

  • Transillumination positive
  • Fluctuation positive
  • Impulse on coughing negative (positive in infantile hydrocele)
