“…[19] Previous studies of the seasonality of testicular torsion have yielded conflicting results. [20] Although, the autumn and winter were prevalent seasons for torsion occurrence; but the difference versus first six months of year was not significant in our study, so as the same report of Cost et al In contrast, Grushevsky et al in USA, determined that testicular torsion occurrence were more likely in the winter compared with the summer. [18] This finding was similar to two decades study of Korkes et al in Brazil.…”

BACKGROUNDTesticular torsion is a surgical emergency, which requires early diagnosis and prompt surgical management to avoid testicular damage. The aim of this study is to survey the clinical findings and outcome of the patients treated for testicular torsion in our Institution, Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai -44. In this cross-sectional study, a retrospective survey of all cases presenting with acute scrotum and primarily diagnosed as testicular torsion was conducted during 2012 and 2015 in our Institution. All 32 cases were reviewed and several clinical data including duration of symptoms and operative findings were collected. Misdiagnosing testicular torsion can lead to organ loss, cosmetic deformity and compromised fertility. The differential diagnosis of the acutely painful scrotum includes testicular torsion, trauma, epididymitis/orchitis, incarcerated hernia, varicocele, idiopathic scrotal oedema and torsion of the appendix testis.

“…The historilogy and clinical examination can significantly straitened the discriminating diagnosis of an acute scrotum, if not found the correct cause (Mäkelä, Lahdes-Vasama, Rajakorpi, & Wikström, 2007;Yang et al, 2011). The precise diagnosis is of great importance since curative consequences varied regard to the reason of the state (Asgari et al, 2006;Molokwu, Somani, & Goodman, 2011).…”

This research was designate with an intention to find the role of Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with acute scrotum. A sum of 80 (mean age 23±2.1 years) consequential patients were recruited for a period of six months between July 2015 and January 2016 in this prospective study. Collected data confined age, medical history, and clinical symptoms. DUS was performed with a linear array transducer (10-15 MHz) connected to HI vision Avius ultrasound unit; Hitachi. CRP was measured using turbidimetric analysis through the Cobas Integra analyzer system (Test CRPL2, 0-293); Roche Diagnostics. Statistical analysis was accomplished using the standard Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 for Windows; Microsoft. Fitted achievement values for DUS in the diagnosis of testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, and varicocele were respectively 100%, 91% and 88% for sensitivity, 92%, 71%, and 90% for specificity, and 94%, 83%, and 89% for accuracy. An increased in the serum CRP level (63.2±40.2 mg/L) was seen in an inflammatory cause of the acute scrotum. In contrast, there was no increase in CRP level (8±3.1 mg/L) in the non-inflammatory cases (P < 0.0001). Scrotal DUS is a highly precise preoperative diagnostic instrument, thereby confirm its course application in the incipient triage of patients with acute scrotum. Serum level of CRP can afford useful advice for differentiation between inflammatory and other reasons of the acute scrotum.
