Article Synopsis
- Funiculitis is an inflammation of the spermatic cord, mainly caused by bacterial infections from nearby structures, but it can also have non-infectious causes.
- A case study of a 72-year-old man showed that despite treatment with antibiotics, he developed systemic symptoms, leading to suspicion of a non-infectious cause, specifically medium vessel vasculitis.
- Diagnostic imaging (PET and CT angiography) helped identify the vasculitis, and the patient responded positively to corticosteroids, highlighting the importance of considering vasculitis in funiculitis cases that don't improve with antibiotics.
