Abstract

The Emergency Room Physician, Radiologist, and Urologist may face numerous diagnostic hurdles while dealing with an acute scrotum. Testicular infarctions have been documented as an uncommon but fatal epididymo-orchitis consequence. A colour Doppler ultrasound examination of the testes should be repeated, and a urology referral for possible admission and surgical exploration should be considered.
