RESUMO
Segmental testicular infarction is a rare cause of acute scrotum and only a few cases have been reported. Torsion of the testis, testicular tumor and infection are important differential diagnoses. The present case report describes a 61-year-old man with left-sided testicular pain increasing over 24â¯h. The diagnosis of segmental testicular infarction was considered after color Doppler ultrasound of the left scrotum and it was confirmed by surgical exploration and pathological examination. Although it is uncommon, segmental testicular infarction should be taken into consideration when acute scrotal pain is encountered, especially for younger patients, since a testis-sparing treatment strategy can be performed.
