Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Epididymo-testicular infarction associated with ischemia of spermatic cord without torsion secondary to an orchiepididymitis is an extremely rare pathological entity, of little known etiopathogenesis and idiopathic in the majority of cases. The authors report an original observation of a 23-year-old young patient with a history of untreated orchiepididymitis, which presented to the emergency department for testicular pain. The ultrasound has showed an ischemic testicle and the exploratory scrototomy objectified an epididymo-testicular necrosis associated with ischemia of spermatic cord without torsion. This case highlighted the interest of early diagnosis and effective treatment of orchiepididymitis to prevent this rare serious complication.
