Rare case of a patient with testicular torsion complicated by acute pneumonia, requiring emergency surgery, during the COVID‐19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION: The COVID‐19 pandemic has been causing delay in patient arrival at hospital and starting surgery. We report a delay in a case of testicular torsion complicated by acute pneumonia during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Japan. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17‐year‐old Japanese boy presented to our emerg...

description | INTRODUCTION: The COVID‐19 pandemic has been causing delay in patient arrival at hospital and starting surgery. We report a delay in a case of testicular torsion complicated by acute pneumonia during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Japan. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17‐year‐old Japanese boy presented to our emergency room with acute left scrotum pain and fever in January 2021. It took 2.5 h to transfer him. Physical examination and color Doppler ultrasonography revealed left testicular torsion. Chest computed tomography indicated acute pneumonia. He successfully underwent surgical detorsion 7.5 h after symptom onset, with COVID‐19 preventive measures in place. A negative polymerase chain reaction test result for COVID‐19 was revealed after surgery. CONCLUSION: We experienced a rare case of testicular torsion complicated by acute pneumonia during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Special attention should be paid to preventing infection and surgery delay to avoid testicular loss. |
