A negative Prehn's sign, or exacerbation of pain upon elevation of the testicle, is one of the clinical features of testicular torsion. This occurs when the testicle rotates and compresses the spermatic cord (a bundle of fibers and tissue running from the abdomen to the testicles).
Negative Prehn's sign indicates no pain relief with lifting the affected testicle, which points towards testicular torsion which is a surgical emergency and must be relieved within 6 hours. Positive Prehn's sign indicates there is pain relief with lifting the affected testicle, which points towards epididymitis.
When checking for the Prehn sign during an examination, the affected hemiscrotum is elevated. This action relieves the pain of epididymitis but exacerbates the pain of torsion (positive Prehn sign).
The cremasteric reflex may be absent with testicular torsion, upper and lower motor neuron disorders, as well as a spine injury of L1-L2. It can also occur if the ilioinguinal nerve has accidentally been cut during a hernia repair. The cremasteric reflex can be helpful in recognizing testicular emergencies.
The scrotum should be examined for a tender spermatic cord, which is suggestive of epididymitis. A high-riding, transversely oriented testis is common with testicular torsion,17 whereas the testis is usually in its normal anatomic location with epididymitis and orchitis.
The "blue dot sign" is a classic physical exam finding unique to testicular appendix torsion. However, it is often absent in the setting of testicular appendix torsion and can be falsely positive in cases of true testicular torsion.
Signs. Deming Sign. Affected testis is positioned high because of twisting of cord and spasm of cremaster muscle. Angell's Sign. Opposite testis lies horizontally because of the presence of mesorchium.
If you have a spermatocele in your scrotum, transillumination will reveal the mass is fluid-filled rather than solid. The light will go through the fluid-filled spermatocele, whereas a solid testicle will not transmit much light. The transillumination will indicate you have a spermatocele as opposed to something else.
Signs that are often considered to be strong predictors of epididymitis are pain isolated to the upper pole of the testicle, a positive Prehn's sign and an intact cremasteric reflex (Table 1).
The cremasteric reflex is a superficial reflex found in human males that is elicited when the inner part of the thigh is stroked. Stroking of the skin causes the cremaster muscle to contract and pull up the ipsilateral testicle toward the inguinal canal.
Orchiopexy (or orchidopexy) is a surgery to move an undescended (cryptorchid) testicle into the scrotum and permanently fix it there. Orchiopexy typically also describes the surgery used to resolve testicular torsion. Urology 216.444.5600.
Males with a horizontal lie to their testes, often termed a 'bell-clapper deformity', are more prone to developing testicular torsion. In this anatomical variant, the testis lacks a normal attachment to the tunica vaginalis and is therefore more mobile, increasing the likelihood of it twisting on the cord structures.
