Epididymo-Orchitis as a cause of acute scrotum in children.
Pak Paed J Jan ;23(1):13-5.

The author presents his experience with eighteen children presenting with acute scrotum secondary to various varieties of epididymo-orchitis (E.O.). In six patients. EO was idiopathic in nature. Seven patients developed EO secondary to systemic disorders. Five children were found to have underlying urogenital anomalies. Although uncommon in children, EO should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotum. Because of high incidence of associated systemic disorders and underlying urogenital anomalies, these children must be thoroughly investiaged.
