If fluid is found inside your baby’s testicles, called testicular syringomyelia, a testicular ultrasound is first needed to clarify the amount of fluid. If the amount of fluid is very small or the baby is less than two years old, it is important to keep an eye on the baby and review the testicular ultrasound regularly, as syringomyelia has the potential to absorb on its own in children less than two years old. If the amount of testicular syringomyelia is large or the patient is older than two years old, surgical intervention is needed, and the timing of the surgery is usually chosen at age two or older. This is because if the patient is older than two years of age, there is little chance that the testicular syringomyelia will absorb on its own and surgical intervention is required.
