To report an additional six cases of acute idiopathic scrotal edema.
To reinforce the importance of differentiating AISE from testicular torsion.

Main Methods:

Case series reporting.
Clinical case review.

Main Results:

Six new cases of AISE were identified and are presented.
The clinical presentation and management of these cases are discussed.

Conclusions:
