PURPOSE: To study color-doppler ultrasoundfeatures of testicular infarction caused by orchiepididymitis, a severe complication of orchiepididymitis. MATERIAL: and Methods. Five patients were included over a 2 year period. All presented with more than 24 hours of pain. A final diagnosis of testicular infarction caused by orchiepididymitis and color doppler ultrasound was available in all cases. RESULTS: All patients showed doppler ultrasound signs of testicular ischemia. Either vascularisation was not detectable or intratesticular resistive index was increased with a negative diastolic flow. Orchidectomy was performed in all patients. CONCLUSION: Color doppler examination of the scrotum should include measurement of intratesticular resistive index. An elevated RI can be suggestive of ischemia.
