The Monitoring of Preoperative External Detorsion with Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in a Patient with Acute Testicular Torsion

الملخص EN

Testicular torsion is one of the main causes of acute scrotum and may result in permanent damage of the testicular tissue.

Color Doppler imaging has been frequently used in the diagnosis of testicular torsion and posttreatment follow-up period of the disease.

There are some studies reporting the value and usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of testicular torsion.

However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report regarding the monitoring of preoperative external detorsion in testicular torsion with diffusion-weighted imaging examination.

In this article, diffusion-weighted imaging findings in the management of preoperative external detorsion in a case with testicular torsion were presented.
