The acute scrotum can present a diagnostic dilemma for the clinical team. There are many causes for acute scrotal pain, with ultrasound being key to establishing the diagnosis. Acute epididymo-orchitis is the most common cause of acute scrotal pain. Ultrasound, although not diagnostic of acute spermatic torsion, can help in patient management by establishing other causes of acute scrotal pain. This review details the ultrasound features of the main causes of acute scrotal pain, knowledge of which enables the on-call radiologist to assist the clinical team in making a more accurate diagnosis.
