Male pelvic emergencies are uncommon, and symptoms typically include scrotal pain, scrotal enlargement and/or a palpable scrotal mass. Ultrasound is often the first line modality for evaluation of male pelvic emergencies, which may be stratified into vascular, infectious or traumatic causes. Entities like testicular torsion; Fournier′s gangrene and testicular dislocation are surgical emergencies and should not be missed or misdiagnosed, as this may cause a significant delay in urgently necessary treatment. Radiologists need to be familiar with the role of imaging as well as the key characteristic imaging findings of these injuries in order to direct the appropriate management.
