Megavesicles are an uncommon diagnostic finding during sonography of the bladder, especially when the examination is performed transabdominally. Although megavesicles are more likely seen with transrectal ultrasonography, computed tomogram (CT), vesiculography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it has been noted during transabdominal sonography for patients suffering from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). When seminal vesicles become dilated, they are often visualized during transabdominal sonography. Two patient cases are provided of seminal megavesicles, associated with ADPKD and have documented sonographic findings. Both patient cases of megavesicles were discovered incidentally during the course of a renal sonogram. The importance of these diagnostic findings and the possible pathogenesis are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
