“…Monorchidism, defined by the total absence of one testis, is rare in domestic cats and has never been reported in wild felids. For this reason, felids that present with only one scrotal testicle should be considered cryptorchid until proven otherwise ( Griffin et al, 2020 ). Cryptorchidism can have a genetic character caused by inbreeding and can be transmitted to offspring.…”

Cryptorchidism in free-living jaguar (Panthera onca): first case report

Cryptorchidism is a genital alteration wherein one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum and has multifactorial causes. A free-range adult male was captured twice in the Pantanal of Nhecolândia to put a GPS collar and semen collection. Pharmacological semen collection, andrological examination and semen analysis were performed. At the first capture and during the andrological examination only the left testis was found, and the male qualified as cryptorchid. The penis had no penile spines at either procedure. The semen volume obtained at first and second capture was 435 and 160 μL, respectively, with a concentration of 618 and 100 x 10 6 sperm/mL, progressive motility of ~ 5% and ~ 1% and total morphological sperm abnormalities of 74% and 86%. The male was monitored by a GPS collar, but the signal was lost, making it difficult to re-captures and perform new seminal and ultrasound evaluations to discard monorchidism – exceedingly rare in felids. Genetic studies to assess the individual's homozygosity are necessary to verify whether cryptorchidism in this individual has a genetic factor.

“…Abnormal abdominal translocation and transinguinal migration result from incomplete or absent testicular descent due to abnormalities in the gubernaculum's outgrowth and regression or the persistence of cranial gonadal suspensory ligaments (1,2). Different forms of cryptorchidism have been described based on whether one or both testicles are involved and where their position is (1,3). Depending on the side, cryptorchidism can be bilateral or unilateral (1).…”

Cryptorchidism is a common congenital abnormality encountered in veterinary clinics. The treatment of choice for this condition is a surgical procedure named orchiectomy or orchidectomy, where the retained testicle is removed. Surgical placement and fixation of the cryptorchid testicle into the scrotum, referred to as orchiopexy, is used in humans. However, due to the hereditary nature of cryptorchidism in dogs, this treatment option has not been proposed in veterinary clinics. Two adult Poodle dogs were referred to our research facility for a sperm parameter evaluation check. The two dogs were unilateral cryptorchid dogs treated with orchiopexy before the age of 6 months. Their sperm kinematics and morphology were within normal ranges, and their libido and testicles sizes were normal. Treatment of unilateral cryptorchidism by orchiopexy in dogs before the age of 6 months successfully restored spermatogenic function and sperm quality-related parameters. However, due to the nature of this condition, orchiectomy remains the treatment of choice.
