The objective of this study was to find out the diagnostic
accuracy Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis of testicular torsion
children presenting with scrotal pain taking surgical findings
as Gold Standard. In this diagnostic cross sectional study we
took 120 male patients of 1-14 years of age with acute scrotal
pain (12-48 hours) and with clinical suspicion of testicular
torsion. Doppler ultrasonography was carried out in all the
patients by a single radiologist. All patients were sent for
surgery and intraoperative findings were noted. All surgeries
were done by a single surgical team. All this information was
recorded on proforma (attached). Statistical analysis was

performed by entering all the data in SPSS version 20. In this
study the mean age of patients was 9 ± 2.52 years. The mean
duration of scrotal pain 16.12 ±5.03 and average scrotal pain on
visual analogue scale (VAS) was 7.17 ± 1.50. The Sensitivity,
Specificity, Positive predictive value and negative predictive
value of Doppler ultrasonography was 98.21%, 87.5%, 99.1%,
77.78% respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy was
97.5%.According to this study, Doppler ultrasonography can
be used to detect testicular torsion in patients presenting with
acute scrotal pain with reliable sensitivity (98.21%), specificity
(87.5%) and good diagnostic accuracy (97.5%)
