Nonspecificity of the "rim sign" in the scintigraphic diagnosis of missed testicular torsion

F Vieras and CR Kuhn

Causes of a hyperemic peritesticular rim on dynamic and static scintigrams are reviewed. Of 6 patients exhibiting such a pattern, 3 had missed testicular torsion; the other 3 had tumor, trauma, or inflammation. The authors conclude that a hyperemic peritesticular rim is a nonspecific finding reflecting underlying pathophysiological changes and is not pathognomonic of missed torsion.
