Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Acute scrotal pain is commonly reported by male patients in emergency settings and comprises a wide range of potential pathological causes. An accurate and expedient diagnosis is essential to avoid treatment and management delays. As such, recognizing imaging features of these clinical conditions is vital. Ultrasonography (US) is the first-line imaging modality for assessing scrotal status and identifying pathologies because of its ease of use, expediency, and high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. In this case series, we describe the different sonographic features of acute scrotal pathologies seen in emergency settings.
