Multimodal ultrasound diagnosis of epididymo‐orchitis with secondary testicular infarction: A case report
We report a case of a 48‐year‐old man with testicular infarction caused by epididymo‐orchitis (EO). Multimodal ultrasound showed extensive necrosis of the testis, and the patient underwent right orchiectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed extensive necrosis of the testis. After 3 months of follow...

Zusammenfassung: | We report a case of a 48‐year‐old man with testicular infarction caused by epididymo‐orchitis (EO). Multimodal ultrasound showed extensive necrosis of the testis, and the patient underwent right orchiectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed extensive necrosis of the testis. After 3 months of follow‐up, the examination of scrotal ultrasound showed that the left testis and epididymis had no obvious abnormality.
We reported a case of testicular infarction caused by epididymitis‐orchitis (EO), which is a rare complication. The application of multimodal ultrasound can help identify the impending infarction in EO in the early stage, providing an opportunity for testicular preservation. |
