Abstract
Doppler ultrasound of a 31 year old patient presenting with acute scrotal pain showed features of acute epididymitis. Follow up study performed on the third day showed total ischemia of the testis. Repeat scan on the tenth day revealed partially regained flow in the testis with segmental infarction; an unusual complication of acute epididymitis. This was confirmed by orchidectomy and histopathological examination.
