Segmental (partial) testicular infarction is a very rare condition of unknown cause in more than 70% of cases. Several predisposing conditions have been described, but to our knowledge, this is the first documented case and often overlooked complication occurring as a result of cysto-prostatectomy. It usually presents in an acute manner resembling testicular torsion or epididymo-orchitis and is confirmed using ultrasonography. In some cases, it may present insidiously with no pain and may be confused with a testicular tumor due to the hypo-echoic features on imaging. In unclear situations, Doppler sonography shows vascularity and a magnetic resonance scan can be useful to distinguish between the two conditions.
节段性（部分）睾丸梗死是一种非常罕见的病症，70%以上的病例病因不明。已有多种易感因素被描述，但据我们所知，这是首例有文献记载的因膀胱前列腺切除术导致的、且常被忽视的并发症。它通常以类似睾丸扭转或附睾炎的急性方式出现，通过超声检查得以确诊。在某些情况下，它可能隐匿出现且无疼痛，由于影像学上的低回声特征，可能会与睾丸肿瘤混淆。在情况不明时，多普勒超声检查可显示血管情况，磁共振扫描有助于区分这两种病症。
