Infants, children, and adolescents with inguinoscrotal pathology comprise a
significant proportion of emergency department and outpatient visits. Visits to
the emergency department primarily comprise individuals presenting with scrotal
pain due to testicular torsion or torsion of the testicular appendages. At such
time, immediate urological consultation is sought. Outpatient visits comprise
those individuals with undescended testes, hydroceles, and varicoceles. Rare, but
important problems, such as pediatric testicular tumours, may also present in the
office setting. Many of these outpatient visits are to primary care physicians,
who should have an appreciation of the timing and need for referral. The purpose
of this review is to familiarize the general urologist and primary care physician
with these varied pathologies and give insight into their assessment and
management. Some of these same conditions are seen in adult patients, but there
are some significant differences in their management in the pediatric group. In
addition, the utility of imaging studies, such as ultrasound, are discussed
within each pathological entity. It is hoped that this overview will assist our
general urology and primary care colleagues in patient management for diverse
inguinoscrotal pathologies.
