Abstract
- An acute scrotum is a common clinical scenario prompting urologic involvement. Scrotal ultrasonography with Doppler is the main imaging modality utilized for the evaluation of an acute scrotum and can help distinguish testicular torsion from epididymoorchitis, two common causes of testicular pain. Testicular infarction is a rare but potential complication of epididymoorchitis. We report a case of epididymoorchitis presenting with reversal of testicular diastolic flow concerning for impending testicular infarction but with a non-ischemic testis on scrotal exploration and repeat scrotal ultrasonography post-operatively.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (© 2021 The Authors.)
