Giriş: Epididimorşit klinik pratikte sık görülen bir ürolojik hastalıktır. Testis infarktüsü epididimorşitin nadir bir komplikasyonudur ve literatürde az sayıda rapor bulunmaktadır.
Olgu Sunumu: 53 yaşında erkek hasta, sağ skrotal ağrı şikayetiyle acil servise başvurdu. Hastaya akut epididimit tanısı konuldu ve 2 hafta boyunca siprofloksasin ile tedavi edildi ancak klinik iyileşme olmadı. Daha sonra Üroloji bölümüne başvurdu. Renkli Doppler ultrasonografide sağ epididimde genişleme ve vaskülarite artışı görüldü. Sağ testiste arka kısımdaki küçük parankimal alan dışında anlamlı bir renk akışı sinyali gözlenmedi. Hastaya skrotal eksplorasyon yapıldı ve testisteki iskemik değişiklikler izlendi. Bu nedenle sağ orşiektomi uygulandı.
Sonuç: Burada epididimorşite sekonder gelişen testis infarktüsü olgusunu sunuyoruz. Uygun konservatif tedaviye rağmen klinik bulgular düzelmiyorsa, hastalar ultrasonografi ile yeniden değerlendirilerek yakın takip altında tutulmalı ve testis kaybına yol açabilecek komplikasyonları önlemek için daha agresif konservatif tedavi önerilmelidir.

Abstract
Introduction: Epididymo-orchitis is a common urological disorder in clinical practice. Testicular infarction is a rare complication of epididymo-orchitis with few reports in the literature.
Case Report: A 53-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department complaining of right scrotal pain. The patient was diagnosed with acute epididymitis and treated with ciprofloxacin for 2 weeks without clinical improvement. Subsequently, he was admitted to the Urology Department. A color Doppler ultrasonography revealed an enlarged right epididymis with increased vascularity. No significant color flow signal was observed in the right testis except for a small parenchymal area of the posterior part. The patient underwent scrotal exploration and the ischemic changes of testis were observed. Therefore, a right orchiectomy was performed.
Conclusion: We present here a case of testicular infarction secondary to epididymo-orchitis. If clinical findings do not improve despite appropriate conservative treatment, patients should be under close follow-up for reassessment with ultrasonography and more aggressive conservative therapy could be prescribed to prevent complications that may lead to testicular loss.
