[Acute epididymitis in a 3-month-old infant: an infrequent presentation]

The acute Epididymitis is a very uncommon disease in children under 3 years old. We present the clinic case in a suckling child of 3 months old with onset of an acute scrotum, being necessary the surgical exploration to define the exact diagnosis of acute Epididymitis. We make a revision on world medical references and found out a very low incidence in children under 1 year old (0.7-3%); so it is considered of interest to publish it with the double finality to be taken into account in the presence of an acute scrotum and to contribute with a new case of this unusual pathology in babies under 1 year old.
