We report a case of a 48‐year‐old man with testicular infarction caused by epididymo‐orchitis (EO). Multimodal ultrasound showed extensive necrosis of the testis, and the patient underwent right orchiectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed extensive necrosis of the testis. After 3 months of follow‐up, the examination of scrotal ultrasound showed that the left testis and epididymis had no obvious abnormality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vaso-occlusive crisis is a sequela of sickle cell disease that can lead to severe pain and infarction at the location of occlusion. In men, genitourinary complications include priapism, hematuria, and very rarely, testicular infarction. Few cases have been previously reported in the literature, but in all of those cases, partial or complete orchiectomy was performed. We report the first known case of segmental testicular infarct secondary to sickle cell disease treated with medical management without need for surgical intervention.

Testicular ischemia is one of the most rarely reported complications of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Although the pathogenesis remains unclear, thromboembolic events in the setting of testicular artery origin occlusion by the stent graft and poor baseline collateral testicular circulation are presumed causes. A 73-year-old man developed acute right testicular infarction 3 days after EVAR, requiring orchiectomy. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing and evaluating testicular pain after EVAR and counseling patients on this possible EVAR complication., Competing Interests: None., (© 2024 The Authors.)
