Abstract
Painful scrotum is a clinical entity that includes a variety of diseases, such as torsion of the spermatic cord, infectious conditions, injuries and oncology. This condition is more common in infants or youths. It is extremely important to recognize this condition and treat it promptly if the testicle is to be saved.
