The normal angiographic anatomy of the testicular artery is also de­scribed, both retroperitoneally and in the scrotum. In cases with a non-palpable testis it is shown that it is easy to distinguish between agenesis and cryptorchism.The normal magnification angiography of the testis is shown and how various intrascrotal lesions alter the picture.Finally some cases with retroperitoneal lesions are presented in which the testicular artery is committed.
