Leydig-cell function was assessed in 27 men with acute mumps orchitis by measuring plasma testosterone concentrations before and after the administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). The test was also performed on groups of patients with other febrile viral infections and mumps without orchitis and on healthy euspermic men. The concentrations both before and after HCG were significan...

Ablation of the valve and antibiotic therapy made the patient free of symptoms.

Intratesticular pseudoaneurysm in the setting of orchitis is exceptionally rare.
