Abstract:
Testicular infarction and ischemia are rare complications of acute epididymitis. The condition is difficult to differentiate with testicular torsion clinically and radiologically. There are only a few cases that have been reported. In this study, we presented a case in a 45 years old male with acute pain in the left testicular. Left orchidectomy had been performed on the patient. Arterial thrombus and ischemia of the left testis were found by pathology examination. Although it is an uncommon case, it has been reported as a potentially serious complication of epididymitis and should be considered when acute scrotal pain is encountered.
