Ultrasonography of the scrotal region shows multiple dilated, anechoic spaces in the epididymis. Colour Doppler excludes vascularity in these spaces. In these channels there were highly mobile, echogenic, twisted tubular structures. These structures exhibited continuous, vigorous swirling or “dancing” movements, a phenomenon termed the “filarial dance sign”.
