title: [Acute epididymitis or testicular torsion?--the differential diagnosis is not always simple].
abstract: Torsion of the spermatic cord continues to be a diagnostic dilemma. All lesions suspicious for torsion should therefore be explored. Acute epididymitis can nowadays more often be treated based on microbiological results. In most children and many elderly pathological findings in the lower urinary tract have to be evaluated and treated.
