Patients presenting with testicular pain and swelling mandate an urgent urology review and scrotal exploration to prevent testicle loss due to torsion. Other pathology masquerading as torsion is extremely rare but can occur. We present one such case. A 14-year-old male presented with a 1-day history of right testicular swelling and tenderness. He was apyrexial and denied any other symptoms. Blo...

The primary pathophysiological event in testicular torsion is ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, which is caused by the twisted spermatic cord and its release. Moreover, testicular torsion is most likely mediated by reactive oxygen species. Ischemic preconditioning (IPreC) is a phenomenon in which a prior ischemic stress renders the organ resistant to a subsequent ischemic insult. Ischemic post...

Overview Excluding dermatological condit ions, testicular and scrotal lesions include hydrocele, hernia, spermatocele, varicocele, tumours, haematocele, and two painful condit ions, epididymitis/orchit is and torsion of the spermatic cord (‘testicular torsion’). These problems are commonly encountered by primary care physicians. For instance, acute epididymitis is one of the leading causes of d...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and emergency exploration of neonatal torsion. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 7 neonates (7 affected testicles) in theperiod 1980-2006. Of 7 testicles, 2 were removed (28.6%). The remaining 5 (71.4%) were explored and fixed. No operative or perioperative complications were associatedwith emergency exploration. During this twenty-six-yea...

INTRODUCTION Studies have demonstrated that variables other than duration of symptoms can affect outcomes in children with acute testicular torsion. We examined demographic and logistical factors, including inter-hospital transfer, which may affect outcomes at a tertiary pediatric referral center. METHODS We reviewed charts of all pediatric patients with acute testicular torsion during a five...

We present the case of a 77 year old man who presented with acute onset of left scrotal pain and swelling, interpreted as epididymo-orchitis, and treated twice, within four days with different antibiotics. On the third presentation an urgent Doppler ultrasound scan confirmed absent testicular blood flow on the affected side. Emergency scrotal exploration revealed a torted left spermatic cord, a...

The Key Role of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Testicular Torsion: A Review Their Induction Rat Model

BACKGROUND Segmental testicular infarction is a very rare condition, which can mimic a testicular torsion or testicular cancer. Correct diagnosis is difficult but it is important to avoid unnecessary radical treatment. CASE PRESENTATION We report a clinical case of a 36-year-old white man who presented at our emergency department with subacute testicular pain. A urine analysis, Doppler ultras...

Testicular torsion is a well-known urological emergency most common in the paediatric population; however, testicular not all-or-none phenomenon and can be of complete or partial intermittent types. Intermittent rare misdiagnosed even population. adults less reported may considered differential diagnosis acute pain, leading to misdiagnosis.

BACKGROUND The acute scrotum is an emergency. Testicular torsion represents approximately 25% of the causes. The annual incidence of testicular torsion is approximately 1/4,000 persons under 25 years, with highest prevalence between 12 and 18 years old. It usually occurs without apparent cause, but it has been associated with anatomical, traumatic, and environmental factors, among others. CLI...
