Abstract
Antenatal ischaemic necrosis has been suggested as the cause for testi cular regression syndrome, but the histological evidence for this has only been indirect. Two patients with unilateral testicular regression syndrome with vascular changes of thrombosis and recanalisation in th e spermatic vessels are reported, demonstrating another histological m arker that can be used in establishing the diagnosis of this disorder.
