OBJECTIVE
To compare historical features, physical examination findings, and testicular color Doppler ultrasound in pediatric patients with epididymitis, testicular torsion, and torsion of appendix testis.
METHODS
A retrospective review of patients with the diagnosis of epididymitis, testicular
Recently Chlamydia trachomatis has been indicated as a common cause of acute epididymitis in young men. In the present study, the grivet monkey was established as an experimental model for such infection. A yolk sac suspension of C. trachomatis, immunotype K, was inoculated into the left spermatic
OBJECTIVE
To identify the signs that can help to differentiate torsion of the appendix testis (AT) and epididymitis and to establish the incidence of the various pathologic entities in boys with an acute scrotum.
METHODS
A retrospective study was performed of the data from all boys treated at our
To assess the etiologic role of C. trachomatis and other micro-organisms in "idiopathic" epididymitis, 23 men underwent microbiologic studies, including cultures of epididymal aspirates in 16. Eleven of 13 men under the age of 35 years had C. trachomatis infection whereas eight of 10 over 35 had
OBJECTIVE
Torsion of the testicular appendages (TTA) is the most common cause of acute scrotum in children, and yet there are only few dedicated studies of the imaging findings.
OBJECTIVE
To review our experience with the use of duplex sonography in children with TTA and to evaluate if sonography
OBJECTIVE
Acute idiopathic scrotal edema (AISE) is an important differential diagnosis in children presenting with an acute scrotum. Sonography plays an important role in excluding testicular torsion, epididymitis, and torsion of a testicular appendage and confirming the diagnosis of AISE. The
During the course of acute bacterial epididymitis of nonvenereal origin, severe epididymal inflammation and edema can produce compression of adjacent branches of the spermatic vessels, which can compromise the testicular vascular system. Scrotal fixation over the involved testicle heralds this event
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)-associated epididymitis is commonly diagnosed in outpatient settings. Although the infection can be successfully cleared using antimicrobial medications, 40% of patients unexplainably show persistent impaired semen parameters even after treatment. Our aim was to
Global testicular infarction is a rare sequela of infectious epididymitis, with few reports in the urologic literature since the introduction of fluoroquinolones in the late 1980s. Ischemia occurs secondary to inflammation and edema of the spermatic cord with compression of arterial flow. We report
BACKGROUND
Acute scrotal pain in children presents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Epididymitis has been considered uncommon in childhood. The clinical spectrum and therapeutic policy of the acute scrotum in children is continually being reassessed.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether there
Most patients with paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma may typically present as a unilateral, painless palpable scrotum mass. However, only a few cases of RMS presenting as painful edema of the scrotum mimicing epididymitis. We herein report an unusual case of alveolar paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma
Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an extremely rare malignancy in adults, accounting for 7% of all RMS cases and 6% of all non-germinal intrascrotal tumors. The clinical signs are similar to those of a hydrocele or testicular tumor, typically presenting as a unilateral, painless mass in the
Xanthogranulomatous epididymitis is an uncommon non-neoplastic process with destruction of tissue and replacement by striking cellular infiltration of foamy macrophages, dense lymphocytes and plasma cells. We report on a 72-year-old man with a clinical history of inadequately treated arterial
One third of the acute épididymitis (A.E.) admitted in the Military Hospital in Marseilles have been operated, i.e. 33 cases; out of them the last 12 cases have been systematically monitored by ultrasonography. Twice out of three times, clinical picture suggested a possible twisting that led to an
A review of 100 boys less than 15 years old who were hospitalized for an acute scrotum revealed that the most common causes of the disorder were testicular torsion, including torsion of the spermatic cord (42 per cent) and torsion of the appendages (32 per cent). The remaining 26 per cent of the
