The tunica vaginalis is 1 of the sites involved in the recurrent febrile attacks of serositis, which are the hallmark of familial Mediterranean fever. The attacks present clinically as "orchitis." We report on a patient with familial Mediterranean fever in whom recurrent episodes of scrotal attacks were complicated by testicular necrosis requiring orchiectomy. The case emphasizes the challenge of recognizing and differentiating these attacks from other causes of acute scrotum.
鞘膜是家族性地中海热反复发热性浆膜炎累及的部位之一，而反复发热性浆膜炎是家族性地中海热的标志。这些发作在临床上表现为“睾丸炎”。我们报告了1例家族性地中海热患者，其阴囊反复发作并伴有睾丸坏死，需要进行睾丸切除术。该病例强调了识别和区分这些发作与急性阴囊其他病因的挑战。
