An isolated torsion of epididymis in a 17-year-old boy: A rare cause of acute scrotum

Öz:

Acute scrotum is a common clinical problem in children and torsion event superimposed on completedissociation of the testicle and epididymis can be difficult to diagnose and often requires scrotalexploration. To the best of our knowledge, four cases of isolated torsion of the epididymis have beenreported in the literature. We report a 17-year-old male patient with epididymal torsion who presentedwith testicular pain and hemi-scrotum swelling. Due to painful symptoms, emergency scrotal surgeryexploration of the patient revealed a complete epididymis infarction due to isolated epididymaltorsion with dissociation of the testis and epididymis.
