Manual detorsion was performed at the bedside using the \u201copen-the-book\u201d maneuver with subsequent ultrasound demonstrating return of flow to the right testicle. Urology was consulted, and the patient was scheduled for an outpatient orchiopexy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Learning Points<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The acute scrotum is a presentation that requires timely evaluation and management by the emergency physician. Of all causes of acute scrotum, testicular torsion is the diagnosis that requires the most emergent action because of the limited time window of testicular salvageability.<sup>1<\/sup> Unfortunately, in many clinical settings including urgent cares, clinics, and rural community emergency rooms, it can be challenging to confirm our clinical suspicion in a timely fashion because of the difficulty in obtaining an official scrotal ultrasound. For this reason, POCUS is an important tool for emergency physicians in the diagnosis of patients with acute scrotum.<\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ultrasound findings of testicular torsion:<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Loss or reduction of color Doppler flow\/Spectral Doppler tracings to affected testicle (Must compare to other testicle)<\/p>\n<pre><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1365 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.sdsc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-21-at-11.55.32-AM.png?resize=433%2C335\" alt=\"\" width=\"433\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.ucsd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-21-at-11.55.32-AM.png?w=1022&amp;ssl=1 1022w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.ucsd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-21-at-11.55.32-AM.png?resize=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.ucsd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-21-at-11.55.32-AM.png?resize=768%2C595&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/pre>\n<p>Affected testicle becomes more heterogeneous than other testicle<\/p>\n<pre><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1366\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.sdsc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Scrotal-Figure52.jpg?resize=525%2C345\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.ucsd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Scrotal-Figure52.jpg?w=541&amp;ssl=1 541w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/emultrasound.ucsd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Scrotal-Figure52.jpg?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><em>Adhikari,\u00a0S.\u00a0R.
