Acute Painful Scrotum - 23/08/11

Abstract |
The acute painful scrotum, which is the most common urologic emergency, may present a diagnostic challenge even to experienced clinicians. Imaging is used mainly to identify patients requiring surgical treatment to reduce the rate of unnecessary testicular exploration.

This article describes the ultrasound features of scrotal pathologies associated with a painful scrotum and the pitfalls of a relevant scrotal ultrasound examination.
