Acute scrotal swelling in Henoch-Schönlein syndrome.
Urology 1977 August
A review of the literature regarding scrotal swelling in Henoch-Schönlein purpura is compared with our own experience at the Mayo Clinic over the previous ten years. Of 59 boys seen with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, 9 were noted to have scrotal swelling, and in 4 the presentation was of sufficient severity to suggest torsion. Two of these 4 were managed conservatively, and spontaneous recovery resulted. Surgical exploration of the scrotum in the other 2 revealed evidence of vasculitis in both and the possibility of torsion of appendix epididymis in 1. In patients with Henoch-Schölein purpura and scrotal pain and swelling, a conservative approach with cautious observation appears justified.
