Abstract :

Torsion of the appendix testis is not an uncommon cause of acute hemiscrotum. It is frequently misdiagnosed as acute epididymitis, orchitis, or torsion of testis. This condition accounts for 35% to 67% of acute scrotum cases and has a higher incidence than testicular torsion. Though conservative management is the treatment of choice for this condition, prompt surgical intervention is warranted when testicular torsion is suspected. We report a case of torsion of a appendix testis. Emergency exploration of it revealed a appendix testis with torsion. After excision of the appendix testis, the wound was closed with an open drain. The patient had an uneventful and smooth postoperative recovery.
