Steroid Treatment for Recurrent Epididymitis Secondary to Idiopathic Urethritis and Urethrovasal Reflux
We describe a case of recurrent left-sided epididymitis secondary to severe idiopathic posterior urethritis extending to left seminal vesicle and vas deference with associated urethrovasal reflux (UVR). Cystourethroscopy and micturating cystourethrogram were essential for the diagnosis. Following cy...

description | We describe a case of recurrent left-sided epididymitis secondary to severe idiopathic posterior urethritis extending to left seminal vesicle and vas deference with associated urethrovasal reflux (UVR). Cystourethroscopy and micturating cystourethrogram were essential for the diagnosis. Following cystourethroscopy, intravesical, and urethral instillation of topical steroid triamcinolone, patient had a full recovery. Idiopathic urethritis in association with veru montentitis, utriculitis leading to left-sided UVR, inflammation of the seminal vesicle, and vas deference causing secondary epididymitis is rare. We report the first such rare case presenting as recurrent acute scrotum and response to innovative treatment we used. |
