A testicular varicocele represents an abnormal degree of venous dilatation of the pampiniform plexus. It is a relatively common condition and may present at scrotal pain and swelling. An association with male subfertility is an area of debate. This article describes the present day radiological criteria and imaging techniques to aid accurate diagnosis of varicoceles. In addition, the role of the interventional radiologist in treating this condition is discussed.
