FONG ALDAMA, Francisco J; GARCIA SOSA, Niurka; SANTANA VALERA, Rodolfo y TOLEDO MARTINEZ, Ernesto. Acute scrotum: frequent urologic- pediatric urgency. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.5, pp.633-638. ISSN 1684-1824.
Objective: Analyzing the patients treated for acute scrotum at the Teaching Pediatric Provincial Hospital Eliseo Noel Caamaño, of Matanzas. Patients: From January 2000 to 2010, 96 patients entered the hospital with acute scrotum; 54 of them were diagnosed as testicular torsion, 26 as torsion of Morgagni hydatid, 13 as acute orchiepidydimitis associated to trauma or not, and 3 of scrotal edema. Results: The higher incidence was in the first decade of life. In the analyzed study the testicular torsion was the first cause, followed by the hydatid torsion. Conclusions: the patients who have these two causes of acute scrotum should be objects of surgical treatment as urgent as possible.
