AB •  Scrotal  pain  and  swelling  is  typically  unilateral  in  epididymitis.•  Epididymitis  is  typically  characterized  by  the  presence  of  urethritis  or  bacteriuria.•  An  abnormally  high  position  of  the  testicle  may  indicate  testicular  torsion.•  Have  a  low  threshold  to  obtain  a  doppler  ultrasound  or  radionuclide  scanning  to  rule  out  testicular  torsion  in  adolescents  or  young  adults,  because  prompt  surgical  intervention  is  essential  to  save  the  involved  testicle.
