Abstract
A 24-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute scrotal pain focused around the inguinal area and right testicle. Sonographic evaluation of the right testicle and inguinal area showed epididymo-orchitis and thickening of the spermatic cord with hyperfused echogenic fat suggestive of funiculitis. There was no dilation or inflammation of vasa deferens thus ruling out vasitis or protrusion of abdominal content or bulge which is indicative of hernia
