The purpose of this article is to review some of the different causes of scrotal pain in the pediatric population. In the acute setting, the most common cause of testicular pain is testicular torsion, however, the causative etiologies are broad. These include infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, referred pain, idiopathic or chronic causes. Sonography is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of scrotal pain in children. We will present various causes of scrotal pain in children, apart from testicular torsion and demonstrate comprehensive ultrasound features of each. Accurate differentiation and a definitive diagnosis without delay, is crucial for the proper management and favourable outcome of the patient. Read More

Pediatric scrotal ultrasound pathology can be difficult because of the similar presentation of different pathology such as scrotal torsion, epididymitis, inguinal hernia, epididymal appendix torsion, and trauma. Identifying key factors of each condition is paramount to providing a clear diagnostic picture in the setting of an atypical presentation of any pathology.

Epididymitis is an inflammatory process precipitated by bacterial or viral infections. Symptoms typically present as increasing scrotal pain with swelling of the epididymis. Depending on degree of severity imaging presentation can mimic other pathology.
