Epididymo-testicular ischemia without torsion

Segmental ischemia in testicular torsion.

Testicular torsion is a rare but important entity in the discipline of urology, as urgent action is required to save the testicle anatomically and functionally. Occurring mainly in the young prepubertal or pubertal male, testicular torsion is also seen in young adults. The annual incidence has been estimated to be 4.5 cases per 100,000 male subjects. The outcome of testicular torsion, in cases ...

Testicular torsion.

Each year, testicular torsion affects one in 4,000 males younger than 25 years. Early diagnosis and definitive management are the keys to avoid testicular loss. All prepubertal and young adult males with acute scrotal pain should be considered to have testicular torsion until proven otherwise. The finding of an ipsilateral absent cremasteric reflex is the most accurate sign of testicular torsio...

Testicular torsion

Testicular torsion is a common surgical emergency of adolescent males presenting with sudden onset of intense scrotal pain. Anatomically testicular torsion follows a congenital anomaly in predisposed individuals that allows the testis to rotate, twisting the spermatic cord, resulting in loss of blood supply and eventual testicular necrosis. The most common underlying cause is a congenital malfo...
