Scrotal masses can represent a wide range of medical issues, from benign congenital conditions to life-threatening malignancies and acute surgical emergencies. Having a clear understanding of scrotal anatomy allows the examiner to accurately identify most lesions. Benign lesions such as hydroceles and varicoceles are often found incidentally by the patient or physician on routine examination. E...

This study aims to investigate effect of torsion on testicular stiffness alteration in affected and concomitant testis using improved ultrasound method of shear wave elastography (SWE). We compared the morphology of the testicular spermatogenesis assessed with Johansen's scale on histology specimens with a mean stiffness measured by SWE. A total of 18 New Zealand white male rabbits were divided...

Perinatal testicular torsion (PTT) is a rare entity. The management of PTT is controversial, due to the low viability of the testis and the possibility of bilateral torsion. This is a review of our experience with six cases of PTT, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this condition.

Differential diagnosis of acute scrotum especially with acute epididymis and testicular torsion should be made promptly, as testicular torsion is a true surgical emergency of the highest order. In this manuscript, two demonstrative cases introducing with acute scrotum and diagnosed with scintigraphy and color Doppler ultrasonography were presented to recall the knowledge.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the short term protective effect of oxytocin on testicular ischemia reperfusion injury immediately after detorsion in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Twenty adult rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control, Ischemia- Reperfusion (IR), Oxytocin and IR+ Oxytocin. Testicular ischemia was achieved by torsion of the left testis 720° ...

Objective To evaluate the management and outcomes of patients who presented with torsion of an undescended testis and review the reported series in the literature. Methods The case records of 13 patients operated for testicular torsion involving undescended testis were retrospectively reviewed. The medical records included age at presentation, medical history, physical examination, operative ...

Acute spermatic cord torsion is a urologic emergency requiring accurate diagnosis and timely intervention to effect testicular salvage. We report a case of adolescent testicular torsion successfully reduced following manual detorsion under sedation at the Emergency Department. Scrotal exploration and bilateral orchidopexy were subsequently performed as a semielective procedure.

25 as reported by Williamson.2 Further evidence that these patients form a high risk group for torsion is provided by other authors who have noted a history of recurrent testicular pain before torsion in 29-50% of their patients.34 Recognition of this diagnosis, its relation to acute torsion and urgent elective orchidopexy may improve testicular salvage rates. The occurrence of one case of tors...

UNLABELLED Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a pediatric malignancy associated with remissions and relapses. Common relapsing sitesare meninges, testis and ovary. Testicular scintigraphy is a highly specific modality used mainly in the differential diagnosis of testicular torsion and epidydimitis/epidydimo-orchitis. There is only one interesting image on leukemic infiltration with scrotal s...

Acute scrotal pain makes up approximately 0.5% of all complaints presenting to an emergency department. Some of the most com-mon diagnoses for this complaint are testicular torsion and epididymitis. Misdiagnosing testicular torsion can lead to organ loss,cosmetic deformity, and compromised fertility. Modem ultrasound examination of the scrotum is the test of choice for acute scrotal pathology a...
