The acute Epididymitis is a very uncommon disease in children under 3 years old. We present the clinic case in a suckling child of 3 months old with onset of an acute scrotum, being necessary the surgical exploration to define the exact diagnosis of acute Epididymitis. We make a revision on world medical references and found out a very low incidence in children under 1 year old (0.7-3%); so it is considered of interest to publish it with the double finality to be taken into account in the presence of an acute scrotum and to contribute with a new case of this unusual pathology in babies under 1 year old.
急性附睾炎在3岁以下儿童中是一种非常罕见的疾病。我们报告了一例3个月大的乳儿急性阴囊发病的临床病例,有必要进行手术探查以明确急性附睾炎的准确诊断。我们查阅了世界医学文献,发现1岁以下儿童的发病率非常低(0.7%-3%);因此,发表此病例有双重意义,一是在出现急性阴囊情况时供参考,二是为1岁以下婴儿这种不常见病理提供一个新病例。
