Ultrasonographic diagnosis of testicular torsion by emergency physicians.
American Journal of Emergency Medicine 2000 March
Testicular torsion has an incidence of one case per 4,000 men/boys. Most frequently affected are pubescent boys. Average testicular salvage rate is only 50%, and infertility can result Testicular torsion remains problematic for emergency physicians (EPs) as clinical diagnosis can be difficult and other testicular pathology can present similarly. In many institutions there are delays in obtaining Doppler or Scintigraphy studies during off-hours. We report two cases of testicular torsion diagnosed by the treating EPs using power Doppler in the emergency department (ED). Rapid diagnosis of torsion led to successful salvage of the affected testicle in both cases. These represent the first cases for emergency screening ultrasound examinations (ESUEs) of testicular torsion in the literature. Rapid technological advances over the last decade have brought portable equipment with high-resolution capability to the bed-side for EPs, who should consider using it more frequently to evaluate testicular torsion.
