Age | Diagnosis | FSH | Chromosomal abnormalities | Clinical history |
---|---|---|---|---|
31 | NOA | 17 | none | Negative bilateral micro-TESE 2 years prior to MR exam; pathology analysis revealed germ cell aplasia |
40 | NOA | 23 | none | No surgery |
50 | severe oligospermia | 7 | none | Sperm count of 1000 after varicocele repair. No biopsy or sperm extraction surgery. |
35 | NOA | 19 | none | Negative bilateral micro-TESE at outside institution 3 years prior to MR exam; subsequent varicocele repair |
32 | NOA | 30 | none | Negative bilateral micro-TESE 9 weeks prior to MR exam; pathology analysis revealed germ cell aplasia |
33 | NOA | 20 | none | Negative bilateral micro-TESE 14 weeks prior to MR exam; pathology analysis revealed germ cell aplasia |
34 | NOA | 25 | none | Negative biopsy at outside institution 2 years prior to MR exam; pathology unknown |
33 | NOA | 27 | 47, XXY (Klinefelter) | No surgery |
38 | NOA | 49 | 46, SRY-positive XX | Orchiectomy for Leydig cell tumor; surrounding tissue exhibited germ cell aplasia. No surgery on remaining testis. |
FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone; NOA = non-obstructive azoospermia; micro-TESE = microdissection testicular sperm extraction; SRY = sex-determining region of the Y chromosome
