Presentation

Left sided scrotal pain.

Patient Data

Age: 20 years

Greyscale and color Doppler ultrasound shows a mildly heterogenous left testis with reduced color flow, a bulky and congested epididymis, and a mild hydrocele .

Case Discussion

Incomplete torsion may result in altered testicular flow pattern including high resistance index (>0.75) or to-and-fro flow.
