Testicular infarction in a patient with spinal cord injury with epididymitis: A case report

Abstract

Evaluating the progression of epididymitis is difficult in patients with a decreased or absent nociceptive perception, and depends on the patient's clinical course. We recommend close physical examination, including inspection and palpation, as well as greyscale and colour Doppler ultrasound scanning, to exclude the possibility of rare testicular infarction. Conservative treatment may be considered first.
