ABSTRACT
Segmental testicular infarction is a rare cause of an acute scrotum. The etiology can be related to sickle cell anemia, hypersensitivity angiitis and polycythemia in some cases, but the condition is usually an idiopathic phenomenon. Because making the differential diagnosis between segmental testicular infarction and testicular tumor can be difficult, most authors have recommended surgery in the past. We report here on cases of testicular segmental infarction that were treated by conservative management and we describe the radiologic findings.
