Introduction: Emphysematous epididymo-orchitis in the young to middle age groups without any comorbidity like diabetes or metabolic disorders is an uncommon entity. Case report: We present a case of a nondiabetic young patient, diagnosed with emphysematous epididymo-orchitis as a sequela to urinary tract infection. Discussion: Clinically differentiating diagnoses of the acute scrotum may be difficult and ultrasound can be used reliably as the initial modality showing the presence of air for early diagnosis. Conclusion: Nondiabetic young patients without any metabolic disorder should also be suspected for emphysematous epididymo-orchitis in the setting of the acute scrotum. An ultrasound examination can predict its presence with confidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
