Pediatrics - Testicular Torsion
Caption
Teenaged male presented with acute onset unilateral testicular pain and swelling. On exam, the affected testicle was swollen and tender with some color change. POCUS demonstrated normal flow in a normal sized contralateral testicle, and an enlarged affected testicle with no color doppler flow. After manual detorsion, POCUS demonstrates clear restoration of normal blood flow. After urologic consultation, the patient was taken emergently to the OR, where operative findings confirmed testicular torsion, and orchiopexy was performed.
