Abstract
Infection of the scrotum and its contents is the most common cause of acute scrotum. Imaging plays an important role in evaluating disease extent, severity and its complications. Sonography is the modality of choice for imaging the acute scrotum. This pictorial review discusses the varied clinical and imaging features of scrotal infections and their complications, with correlative CT, when available.
