title: False-positive "halo" sign on testicular scintigraphy in a 5-year-old boy with epididymitis and hydrocele.
abstract: Scintigraphic differentiation between acute torsion, hydrocele and testicular or scrotal abscess can be difficult. Doppler sonography may provide useful complimentary information toward diagnosis. The authors describe a 5-year-old child where epididymitis with hydrocele was misdiagnosed as testicular torsion on scrotal scintigraphy.
