Case Report
A-17 year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with the complaints of pain and swelling on his left testis. In his history, he had trauma on his left testis five days ago and he went to a doctor. He took non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. He was consulted to our clinic because of continuous pain. His laboratory tests were Hb: 15.2 g/dL (12.0-18.0), WBC: 10800 (4.2-10.8). In color Doppler sonography there was no intratesticular flow in his left testis. Following color Doppler sonography, scintigraphy was performed. The scintigraphic view was confirmed by physical examination and was reported as a probable missed torsion. In the surgical operation it was observed that left testis was localized at its normal position, and it was diagnosed that there was just hematoma in the hypoactive region which was detected in the scintigraphy.
