Thirty-one patients with intrascrotal disease process have been studied with the Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter to determine if testicular torsion can be differentiated from acute epididymitis when clinical characteristics are ambivalent. In all instances of proved torsion there was a loss of blood flow in the involved testes, whereas in acute epididymitis or other epididymal and gonadal diseases blood flow ranged from normal to hyperemic.
对31例患有阴囊内疾病的患者使用多普勒超声流量计进行了研究,以确定当临床特征不明确时,睾丸扭转是否能够与急性附睾炎区分开来。在所有经证实为扭转的病例中,受累睾丸均出现血流缺失,而在急性附睾炎或其他附睾及性腺疾病中,血流情况从正常到充血不等。
