Acute idiopathic scrotal edema is a clinical entity predominant in children under 10 years whose true incidence is unknown in our setting. Diagnosis is challenging and avoids unnecessary surgeries. We present the case of an idiopathic acute scrotal edema with ultrasound findings highly suggestive of the diagnosis, which was managed conservatively with complete signs and symptoms resolution after discharge. We aim to review the ultrasound characteristics and differential diagnosis of this disorder.

“…It occurs less frequently than epididymitis, testicular torsion, or torsion of testicular appendages 1,2 and is more common in boys than in adults. 3,4 Acute idiopathic scrotal edema manifests as self-limiting scrotal edema and erythema that resolves without sequelae within 1 to 3 days. 5 Sonography is the modality of choice for evaluating abnormalities of the scrotum and testes in children.…”

ZusammenfassungWir berichten über einen 28-jährigen Patienten mit akut aufgetretener skrotaler Schwellung. Laborchemisch zeigte sich kein Hinweis auf eine Entzündung und sonographisch waren beide Hoden gut perfundiert. Eine Hodentorsion schien anamnestisch und bei der körperlichen Untersuchung als unwahrscheinlich, daher haben wir uns gegen eine operative Therapie entschieden. Im Verlauf konnten mögliche Differenzialdiagnosen ausgeschlossen und der Verdacht eines akut idiopathischen Skrotalödems (AISE) bestätigt werden. Nach eintägiger stationär-antiphlogistischer Therapie konnte der Patient wieder nach Hause entlassen werden. Das Fallbeispiel zeigt, dass die AISE auch bei nicht-pädiatrischen Patienten auftreten kann und zu vorderst eine Ausschlussdiagnose ist.
