A rare case of methamphetamine induced testicular ischemia, a 35-year-old man with clinical and sonographic features of left epididymitis. However, Ultrasound incidentally showed a lack of vascularity of the right testicle despite being asymptomatic on the right hemi-scrotum. He was a known intravenous methamphetamine user, admitting his last injection was 4 h prior to his presentation. The left epididymitis was treated with antibiotics, analgesia and scrotal support, while right testicle was treated conservatively with serial ultrasounds. Repeat ultrasound in 20 h confirmed the return of normal vascularity of the right testicle confirming methamphetamine induced testicular ischemia, no surgical intervention needed.
一例罕见的甲基苯丙胺所致睾丸缺血病例,一名35岁男性,具有左侧附睾炎的临床和超声特征。然而,超声偶然发现右侧睾丸无血流信号,尽管右侧阴囊无症状。他是一名已知的静脉注射甲基苯丙胺使用者,承认最后一次注射是在就诊前4小时。左侧附睾炎采用抗生素、镇痛和阴囊支持治疗,而右侧睾丸采用连续超声检查进行保守治疗。20小时后复查超声证实右侧睾丸血流恢复正常,确诊为甲基苯丙胺所致睾丸缺血,无需手术干预。
