Continuous‐type splenogonadal fusion associated with an ipsilateral testicular atrophy: Sonographic findings

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly in which the spleen is abnormally connected to the gonad. Two types of splenogonadal fusion have been described: continuous and discontinuous. Splenogonadal fusion is frequently associated with cryptorchidism and/or congenital orofacial/limb anomalies. We describe the ultrasound findings in a case of continuous‐type splenogonadal fusion associated with ipsilateral testicular atrophy with correlation with MRI. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
