[Ultrasonics in testicular torsion].
Definite sonographic abnormalities are noted short time after the onset of acute testicular pain in patients with testicular torsion. In some cases gray-scale sonographic features will prove valuable in differentiating epididymo-orchitis from torsion. The spectrum of findings include testicular enlargement with an associated decrease in echogenicity of the testicular parenchyma, enlargement of the epididymal body and spermatic cord, and sometimes a hydrocele. A case is presented, in which the B-scan ultrasound mapped out the intrascrotal contents and caused prompt surgical intervention.
