spermatic cord torsion/vomiting

Henoch-Schönlein syndrome (HSS) is a systemic disease of young children characterized by colicky pain, with melena, vomiting and damage to the joints, kidneys and other organs. Surgical problems involving the gastrointestinal tract include bleeding, intussusception and perforation. Uncommon

OBJECTIVE Intermittent testicular torsion (ITT) is a poorly characterized condition but harbors potentially serious implications with regard to testicular viability. We report better characterization of the diagnostic features of ITT. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all patients 1 to

OBJECTIVE To review and update several aspects of testicular torsion. BACKGROUND The relative incidence of testicular torsion, torsion of testicular appendix and epididymo-orchitis is variable and depends on mode of diagnosis and patients' age. AGE: Testicular torsion can occur at any age. The peak

OBJECTIVE To improve clinicians' ability of diagnosing testicular torsion. METHODS We reviewed the data of a case of testicular torsion that resulted in necrosis because of delayed presentation and repeated misdiagnosis, and analyzed its anatomic features, clinical manifestations, ultrasound

Purpose: The TWIST (Testicular Work-up for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion) score was developed to allow for expedited diagnosis of testicular torsion (TT) in children based on clinical variables: edema (2 points), hard mass (2), absent

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to identify clinical findings associated with increased likelihood of testicular torsion (TT) in children. METHODS This study used a retrospective case series of children with acute scrotum presenting to a pediatric emergency department (ED). RESULTS Five hundred

Transient testicular torsion (TTT) occurs when the torsion of the spermatic cord is reversed automatically within few minutes, with subsequent restoration of the blood ow to the suffering testis. e main clinical manifestation is acute scrotal pain, which resolves within a short period of time,

BACKGROUND Testicular torsion compromises the blood supply to the testes and may result in testicular loss or damage if not dealt with promptly. It can occur either as acute testicular torsion (ATT) or intermittent testicular torsion (ITT). This study examines the presentation, management, and

A 6 mo old male puppy was presented as an emergency for an acute onset of lethargy, ptyalism, and vomiting. On physical examination, the dog was painful on abdominal palpation. A torsed intra-abdominal testis was diagnosed via abdominal ultrasonography and radiography. Laparoscopy was used to

We present a child with both acute appendicitis and torsion of the right testis presenting at the same time. Testicular torsion possibly occurring due to vomiting in acute appendicitis so far has not been reported in the literature.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to derive a pilot clinical decision tool with 100% negative predictive value for testicular torsion based on prospectively collected data in children with acute scrotal pain. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of a convenience sample of newborn to

Testicular torsion is caused by twisting of the spermatic cord, which results in compromised testicular blood flow. The degree of ischemic injury is determined by the severity of arterial compression and the interval between the onset of symptoms and surgical intervention. Torsion usually occurs at

Bilateral simultaneous testicular torsion is a rare condition and can be misdiagnosed. The 16-year-old patient presented with a 3 h history of left hemi-scrotal pain, nausea and vomiting. His comorbidities included DiGeorge syndrome (22q11 deletion syndrome). Patient's scrotal examination was

Testicular torsion is a true urologic emergency with a bimodal age presentation : the perinatal testicular torsion presenting with a hard, tender or non-tender scrotal mass usually with underlying dark discoloration of the skin and the peripubertal testicular torsion presenting with severe acute
