Testicular ischemia is one of the most rarely reported complications of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Although the pathogenesis remains unclear, thromboembolic events in the setting of testicular artery origin occlusion by the stent graft and poor baseline collateral testicular circulation are presumed causes. A 73-year-old man developed acute right testicular infarction 3 days after EVAR, requiring orchiectomy. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing and evaluating testicular pain after EVAR and counseling patients on this possible EVAR complication.

Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.

Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.

The management of neonatal testicular torsion lacks consensus. Arguments in favor of emergency bilateral exploration and fixation include a salvage rate and the incidence of bilateral torsion. We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of all cases of neonatal torsion in our unit between 2012 and 2022 to assess whether our data supports this approach and to publish further data on a disease on which there remains a paucity.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for diagnosing testicular infarction: Findings from a retrospective cohort analysis.

Medicine (Baltimore)

December 2024

Department of Science and Education, Dalang Hospital, Dongguan, Guangdong, China.

This study aims to evaluate the ultrasonographic features associated with testicular infarction, determine the diagnostic effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in assessing the testicular vascular system, and investigate the etiological factors contributing to testicular infarction. A retrospective analysis was performed involving 12 patients with confirmed testicular infarction. Each participant underwent standard superficial ultrasound examinations, followed by CEUS.

Lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) includes a diverse group of pharmaceuticals designed to reduce blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride (TG), helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction and stroke. LLT includes treatment with several lipid-lowering drugs (LLD), including hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statin), PCSK9 Inhibitors, cholesterol-absorbing inhibitors (Ezetimibe), Bile Acid Sequestrants, Fibrates, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Bempedoic Acid, and combination therapy. The efficacy and safety of these molecules vary widely.

Vaso-occlusive crisis is a sequela of sickle cell disease that can lead to severe pain and infarction at the location of occlusion. In men, genitourinary complications include priapism, hematuria, and very rarely, testicular infarction. Few cases have been previously reported in the literature, but in all of those cases, partial or complete orchiectomy was performed.
