Abstract:
Emphysematous epididymo-orchitis (EEO) is a rare but serious condition that involves the presence of gas within the tissues of the testicle and/or the epididymis. It is a medical emergency that can be life-threatening if left untreated. Management of this condition may involve a combination of antibiotics, surgical drainage, and supportive care. In March 2023, A systematic review of case reports was conducted to identify and examine cases of EEO. We used PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for a methodical search. Only seven out of 136 studies met our criteria for this review of case reports. However, this review discusses symptom presentation, imaging findings, complications, and possible management of EEO.
