Diagnosis Any swelling in the scrotum is torsion of the testis until proven otherwise. The child must be seen immediately because time is critical in trying to salvage the testis. Usually the diagnosis is made clinically.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
Presentation Acute swelling of the scrotum in a boy indicates torsion of the testis until proven otherwise.[patient.info]
tenderness with or without testicular tenderness WBC, LE, nitrites Body of testis similar to asymptomatic side with hypoechoic epididymis Antibiotics Possible scarring, possible impaired fertility While ultrasound is the most useful diagnostic modality[cdemcurriculum.com]
There is also noted diffusely tender swollen testes or epididymaltenderness. Scrotal swelling and erythema and reactive hydrocele may also be present in delayed presentations.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Testicular torsion is doubtful, and no further workup is indicated. Patients may be treated with narcotic analgesics if needed (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] if not contraindicated) and antibiotics.[aneskey.com]

Conservative treatment is indicated, as this is a self-limited process. Infarction and subsequent atrophy of the appendage will occur. 26[aafp.org]
In most cases, testicular cancer can be cured if the person seeks medical treatment early. Surgical removal of the affected testicle (orchidectomy) is usually the first treatment for all testicular cancer.[betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Torsion of testicular appendices is the leading cause of acute scrotum in children. [2, 3, 5, 6] Prognosis The prognosis is excellent. Long-term sequelae to this condition do not exist. Virtually all patients have uneventful recoveries.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis This will depend on the duration of torsion and the viability of the testis after detorsion has been performed. Some authors report decreased fertility when a testis is left in situ following a unilateral torsion.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
Subfertility is found in 36-39% of patients after torsion. [ 4 ] Prognosis The extent and duration of torsion have a major influence on both the immediate salvage rate and late testicular atrophy.[patient.info]
Prognosis and Patient Counseling. There can be psychological issues which occur with losing a testicle. Not only is there the cosmetic deformity but also the concerns of infertility. Saline implant prosthetic device may be helpful. VI.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.[icd10coded.com]
The 3 most common etiologies of acute scrotal pain in the pediatric age group are epididymitis, torsion of the appendix testis, and testicular torsion.[scholars.northwestern.edu]
Torsion of the appendix testis is a common cause of acute scrotal pain in children. [ Boettcher, 2013 ; Sakellaris, 2008 ] Etiology of torsion is unknown. Usually occurs in boys 7-14 years of age. More common than epididymitis in children.[pedemmorsels.com]
A urinalysis is sometimes obtained to access for pyuria or bacturia which would suggest an infectious etiology.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Viral etiologies most common, but can also be bacterial (brucellosis). Incarcerated inguinal hernia – Pain with a scrotal mass. Bowel sounds may be present. HSP – acute or insidious onset of pain. Look for other signs of HSP.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]

Definition and epidemiology Testicular torsion is ischaemia of the testicle due to rotation along the longitudinal axis of the spermatic cord.[racgp.org.au]
Testicular torsion must be diagnosed quickly and accurately, because delay of the diagnosis and subsequent delay of surgery, if needed, can lead to loss of testicular viability and orchidectomy. [1] Pathophysiology The vestigial tissues forming the appendices[emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology During development, the testicle becomes invested by the tunica vaginalis, to which it is fixed inferiorly by the gubernaculum testis.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
This is to help prevent severe problems. During surgery, the health care provider will be able to see if the condition is testicular appendage torsion.[saintlukeshealthsystem.org]
Torsion of the other testicle can't be prevented by changes in activity or by taking medicine. Only sewing stitches around the testicle will prevent future torsion.[practo.com]
