Amongst the patients responding to varicocelectomy in our study, 1 had histospermatogensis, 2 had maturation arrest and 2 had germ cell
aplasia. However, there was no statistically significant difference in pathological diagnosis between the responders and non-responders (p=0.76).
There was no association between sphenoid
aplasia and sex and population groups (p>0.05), but there was an association with age cohorts (p<0.001).
One of our patients had pure red cell
