The cyclopædia of anatomy and physiology cyclopdiaofana0402todd Year: 1849 TESTICLE (ABNORMAL ANATOMY). above the testicle in close contact with the tunica vaginalis. Immediately above this cyst, but quite distinct from it, there was a narrow and empty serous sac three inches in length, with a contracted neck, and communicating with the abdomen. They are figured in the accompanying engraving, with the hernial sac Fig. 644. laid open, and part of the parietes of the encysted hydrocele cut away to expose their interiors. The position of the testicle is so changed that its anterior border is directed downwards. In the examination of the body of a man who died of disease of the heart, I found on the right side a thickened and empty serous pouch, extending for about an inch and a half below the external abdominal ring. Directly below it was an independent cyst, capable of containing a walnut, similar in structure to the hernial sac, but lined by a thin false membrane. The tunica vaginalis, which was healthy in structure, extended up the cord as far as the cyst, from which it was separated by a thick and firm partition. In opening the body of a sailor who died with ascites, I noticed at the internal ring a small, delicate, transparent, pedunculated cyst, not larger than a nut, projecting into the cavity of the abdomen. In the spermatic cord, there was a large serous cyst, which extended into the inguinal canal, and contained a small quantity of transparent fluid. A small orifice at its upper part opened into the peduncu- lated cyst, which proved to be a process from the cyst in the cord. In fig. 64+., I have given a representation of an inguinal hernia, combined with an elongated encysted hydro- cele of the cord; and in fig. 647., a repre- sentation of an encysted haematocele of the cord, in which the tunica vaginalis remained 1001 unobliterated as far up as the cyst, whilst a hernial sac is situated imm
