[Testicular echography in torsion and epididymitis. Apropos of 2 cases].

We report two cases, one of a long-standing epididymitis with a testicular infarct, the second of testicular tumor with torsion. Scrotal ultra-sound is a quick, easily applied, accurate method to follow cases of subacute epididymitis with atypical evolution. In case of testicular torsion, secondary to tumor, it helps to rule out scrotal exploration and to decide of an orchidectomy with a high located surgical approach.
