Abstract:
The acute scrotum in infants and children is generally due to torsion of the spermatic cord, torsion of the appendix testis, or acute epididymitis. An infant is presented who was found to have epididymitis and a scrotal abscess due to Haemophilus influenzae type b at the time of surgical exploration for suspected torsion of the spermatic cord.
