Classification. /.2 ((a) Hydrocele ofhmica vaginalis. The fluid is in a sac J ^ connected with that of the tu- nica vaginalis. HYDROCELE. Ordinary hydrocele. The fluid distends the closed sac of the tunica vaginalis (p. 102.) Congenital hydrocele. A communication exists between the cavity of the tunica vaginalis and that of the peritonaeum (P- 162). _ Infantile hydrocele. The tunica vaginalis and the funicular process are distended with fluid, but these are shut oft from the peritonaBal cavity by an obliteration placed,usually,at the external ring(p. 169). Inguinal hydrocele. Hydrocele in relation with a retained testis (p. 62). (/3) Encysted hydrocele. The fluid is in a j sac,distinct from -' 2. that of the tu- i nica vaginalis. j II It ;s ^ Encysted hydrocele of the e])ididymis. The fluid is encysted in the neighbourhood of the epididymis (p. 186). Encysted hydrocele of the testis. The fluid is encysted between the tunica albuginea and the inner surface of the tunica vagi- nalis (p. 202). I {a) Diffused. The fluid forms a serous collection of the nature of oedema in the cellular tissue of the cord (Part II.). (§) Encysted. The fluid is contained in a distinct sac, originating ' usually in (i) some unobliterated part of the processus funiculo- 1 vaginalis ; (2) in a cyst formed independently of this process— e.fj., in dilatation of persistent tvibules of the organ of Giraldes \ (Part II.). [{a) With other co-existing hydroceles (p. 123). E.g. (i) hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis with encysted hydrocele of the testis; (2) hydrocele of tunica vaginalis with encysted hydrocele of cord ; 1^3) hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis with diffused hydro- cele of cord. (^) With hernia {p. 127). E.g. (i) hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis with inguinal hernia; V2) hydrocele of the cord with inguinal hernia. ^_iv. Hydrocele of the sac of a hernia (p. 207). Section II. HYDROCELE OF THE TUNICA VAGINALIS, COMMON OR VAGINAL HYDROCELE. Hy the above term is meant a collection of serous iiuid in the sac of the tunica vaginalis.
