MUMPS ORCHITIS
Mumps is a viral disease that generally affects the young population. In developed countries, however, its incidence decreases due to the rate of vaccination. Mumps orchitis is one of its possible complications and can occur in almost 40 % of men affected with mumps. This aetiology needs to be considered during differential diagnosis of acute scrotum syndrome.
Keywords: orchitis, epididymitis, parotitis, ultrasonography.
