title: Segmental testicular infarction.
abstract: Segmental testicular infarction is described in 11-years-old-child presented with acute left hemiscrotal pain and swelling. Clinical examination suggested left testicular tenderness with no evidence of intratesticular mass and the rest of the scrotal contents were normal. Color doppler study suggested a well circumscribed avascular lesion in the upper pole of left testis and provided a clue to diagnosis. Partial orchidectomy resulted in a satisfactory recovery and provided histopathological confirmation of diagnosis. Authors review their experience with this rare entity and the pertinent literature.
