Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of acute scrotum in the emergency department
TL;DR: A 2-year retrospective review of 238 cases of acute scrotal pain encountered in a children's hospital emergency department finds noninvasive urodynamic studies appear to be useful screening modalities in older children with epididymitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etiology of Acute Scrotum in 100 Boys with Regard to Age Distribution
TL;DR: While idiopathic scrotal edema occurred in children less than 7 years old and orchitis in patients more than 12 years old, epididymitis was observed in young boys and those of pubertal age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immediate exploration of the unilateral acute scrotum in young male subjects.
TL;DR: An aggressive policy of immediate exploration of the unilateral acute scrotum in young men resulted in exploration of twice as many cases of acute epididymitis as torsion of the testis or its appendages but also resulted in an immediate orchiopexy (salvage) rate of 90 per cent and a long-term salvage rate of 73 per cent of patients with acute torsia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical analysis of the clinical presentation of acute scrotum: a 9-year experience at a single institution.
TL;DR: Any boy 11 years old or older with scrotal pain less than 12 hours in duration that is associated with nausea or vomiting should be considered to have torsion of the spermatic cord.

TL;DR: The results of a prospective study of 19 children who presented with torsion of the testis or its appendages illustrate some complexities and provide a sound basis for conclusions regarding the predisposing anatomical factors and the differential diagnosis.
