| description | Segmental testicular infarction(STI) is a rare unknown condition. Clinical presentation is non-specific and management is unconsensual. We report clinical and surgical management of a segmental testicular infarction. A 18-years old adult presented to emergency with acute right testicular pain. The only triggering factor was a stressful situation. Examination revealed a slightly swollen, non-ascending testicle with no inflammatory signs. We suspected spermatic –cord torsion(SCT), we decided to explore it surgically. Exploration showed a well-demarcated infarcted inferior pole of right testicle. Partial orchiectomy was performed. STI is a rare entity often clinically confused with SCT. Diagnosis is based on intraoperative findings. |
