description The leading cause of scrotal pain in the geriatric population is epididymitis. Testicular torsion is rare in adult men. This case report of an 82-year old man with acute scrotum represents the second oldest patient reported in published studies. Due to the long delay between the onset of clinical symptoms and surgical exploration, the testicular infarction with necrosis and orchiectomy ultimately occurred. The diagnosis of testicular torsion in the geriatric population is often delayed and lacks awareness for the diagnosis.
