Radionuclide imaging in differential diagnosis of torsion and infections of testis and epididymıs revisited

Akut skrotumun ayırıcı tanısı özellikle akut epididimit ve testis torsiyonu için hızla yapılmalıdır. Çünkü testiküler torsiyon gerçek bir cerrahi acildir. Bu makalede akut skrotal ağrısı olan ve tanısında testis sintigrafisi ve Doppler Ultrasonografisi kullanılan iki vakayı sunmayı ve bu konudaki bilgileri gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık.

Radyonuklid görüntüleme metodu ile testis torsiyonu teşhisi ve testis ve epididimis enfeksiyonları

Differential diagnosis of acute scrotum especially with acute epididymis and testicular torsion should be made promptly, as testicular torsion is a true surgical emergency of the highest order. In this manuscript, two demonstrative cases introducing with acute scrotum and diagnosed with scintigraphy and color Doppler ultrasonography were presented to recall the knowledge.
