Neonatal epididymo-orchitis caused by : A case of successful non-surgical management.

Neonatal epididymo-orchitis (EO) is a rare condition, particularly when caused by S, a pathogen typically associated with gastroenteritis. We present the case of a 15-day-old male who developed right-sided scrotal swelling and erythema. Scrotal ultrasound confirmed EO without signs of torsion or abscess. Further investigation revealed potential exposure from feeding bottles, and stool PCR confirmed the diagnosis. The patient responded well to antibiotics, avoiding surgical intervention. This case highlights the rarity of EO in neonates and the value of early imaging, thorough history-taking, and environmental exposure assessment in guiding conservative management and avoiding surgery.
