Abstract
Segmental testicular infarction is rare. To the best of our knowledge forty cases are reported in literature. We present two cases of segmental testicular infarction with different etiology. The first case was observed after herniorrhaphy and varicocelectomy. The second one occurred after acute epididymitis. Both cases have been treated without radical orchiectomy. We have also reviewed the pertinent literature in terms of differential diagnosis, etiology and management, with particular regard to testicular sparing.
