ABSTRACT
Acute scrotal pain is a common complaint in emergency or primary care practice. A myriad of pathologies need to be considered, and while the clinical history often leads the clinician to the correct diagnosis, radiologists are often called upon to provide further diagnostic information through ultrasonography. Here, we present the sonographic features of various scrotal emergencies, as well as a few pitfalls. Through this, we explore the breadth of urgent pathologies that may be encountered, both traumatic and non-traumatic. For the clinician who performs point-of-care ultrasound, whether in clinic or in the emergency department, we hope that this pictorial article will lay a good foundation for confident and accurate image interpretation.
