The authors evaluate the testicular blood flow by Doppler stethoscope in 90 infants and children; they tell two indications: In emergency the most common is "acute scrotal swelling": 78 cases, 4 false negative are reported in diagnosis of torsion of the spermatic cord; the limit of the Doppler examination are the possibility of a interepididymo-testicular torsion and, above all, the inflammation of the scrotal wall. If Doppler examination are in agreement, unnecessary surgical explorations must be avoided. Outside emergency, Doppler examination may be help-full to evaluate varicocele and to control some surgical operation involving spermatic cord (12 cases).
作者使用多普勒听诊器对90例婴幼儿和儿童的睾丸血流进行了评估；他们指出了两种应用情况：在急诊中，最常见的是“急性阴囊肿胀”：78例，在精索扭转诊断中报告有4例假阴性；多普勒检查的局限性在于存在附睾-睾丸间扭转的可能性，最重要的是阴囊壁炎症。如果多普勒检查结果一致，必须避免不必要的手术探查。在非急诊情况下，多普勒检查可能有助于评估精索静脉曲张，并用于监测一些涉及精索的手术（12例）。
