III Abstract This study was conducted in Khartoum State in Alnhda Reference Medical Center during the period from January (2019) to October (2019). The problem of the study there is no previous studies include measurements of the normal seminal vesicle’s diameter in adult Sudanese. The objective of this study was to establish standard measurements of the seminal vesicles’ diameter in normal adults Sudanese by trans-abdominal ultrasound in order to find measurement range related to age, married status and prostate volume. This study was cross sectional descriptive study where the data were collected from (80) Sudanese adult male using data collecting sheet. The results showed the average diameter of the right seminal vesicles (10.22 ± 2.84) mm and average diameter of the left seminal vesicles (10.29 ± 2.88) mm. The range values of the right seminal vesicle’s diameter (4mm - 21.5 mm) and the range values of the left seminal vesicle )4mm - 22.5 mm( .The study showed that, there was no relationship between the patient's age with right and left vesicle diameters. Also, the study found out that the right and left vesicle diameters wasn't affected by the married status of the patients among these populations. Also, there is no relationships between the prostate volumes with right and left vesicle diameters but there was moderate positive relationship between prostate volume and patient age (R2= 0.53 and P value =0.000). The normal seminal vesicle has low level echogenicity (100%) and homogenous in texture (100 %). The study recommended that future research studies should be done with expanding period of time and include more sample data for precise and accurate results. IV المستخلص أجريت هذه الدراسة بمركز النهضة الصحي المرجعي في وﻻية الخرطوم في الفترة من يناير )2019( وحتى أكتوبر )2019(. تمثلت مشكلة البحث في عدم وجود دراسات سابقة تشمل قياسات قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية عند السودانيين البالغين كما هدفت هذه الدراسة الي قياس قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية لدى السودانيين البالغين باستخدام الموجات فوق الصوتية والمقارنة م ع عمرالمري ض والحالة اﻻجتماعية وحجم البروستاتا. هذه الدراسة مقطعية عرضية وصفية حيث جمعت البيانات من )80( ذكر سوداني بالغ من سن )18( سنة الي )60( سنة ومتوسط اﻻعمار 40.4 سنة باستخدا م ورقة جمع البيانات. اظهرت الدراسة ان متوسط قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية اليمني كانت )2.84 ± 10.22 ملم.( و أن متوسط قطر الحويصﻻ ت المنوية اليسر ى كانت )2.88 ± 10.29ملم(. مدى قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية اليمنى يتراوح بي ن)4 – 21.5 ملم( وان مدى قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية اليسرى )4 - 22.5 ملم( أظهرت الدراسة انه ليس هنالك عﻻقة بين عمر المريض و قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية و ا نه كذلك ليس هنالك عﻻقة بين الحالة اﻻجتماعية ) متزوج أو عازب ( و قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية كذلك أوجدت هذه الدراسة أنه ليس هنالك عﻻقة بين حجم البروستاتا و قطر الحويصﻻت المنوية وأخيرا أوضحت هذه الدراسة إن الحويصﻻت المنوية الطبيعية تظهر متجانسة . توصي هذه الدراسة بضرورة إجراء دراسات بحثيه أخرى يتم فيها توسيع الفترة وتشمل بيانات أكثر للحصول على نتائج أكثر دقة .

However, there are limited literatures concerning its application for the measurement of seminal Vesicles, which important to exclude many diseases related to pathological and obstructive condition which cause change in the diameter of the seminal vesicles however the seminal vesicle diameter is better than the volume because it is easy to measure and give us accurate result which importance to exclude the pathology from the normal.
