A 10-year-old child paid a visit to my clinic with complaints of abdominal pain for the past 2 hours and one episode of vomiting. On palpating, the child had right iliac fossa tenderness and scrotal pain as well, but there is no fever.
I agree with Dr Deepthi , as per the clinical scenario with scrotal tenderness very first to r/o torsion . Its unusual to have scrotal tenderness due to appendicitis. Did radiologist put the prob on scrotum to r/o testicular causes including orchitis or epididymitis??
CT is a definitely good option to confirm abdominal cause.
