Acute scrotum: an exceptional presentation of acute nonperforated appendicitis in childhood

R Méndez et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1998 Sep.

Abstract

Acute scrotum is an exceptional form of presentation of acute appendicitis in the pediatric age group. Only 14 cases have been described in literature. The authors report a case of an 8-year-old boy with a 12-hour history of right hemiscrotal pain secondary to acute retrocecal nonperforated appendicitis. Surgical exploration showed a patent "processus vaginalis."
