Ultrasound image of the right testis on hospital admission. The color Doppler ultrasound image revealed the uneven echo of the right testis, which showed no significant blood flow signal.

The right testicle was 16 mm x 10 mm x 8 mm in size, displaying uneven echo and no obvious blood flow signal (Figure 1).
Obvious enlargement and darkening of the right testis due to testicle ischemia owing to vascular occlusion and poor blood supply.

There was no improvement after 20 min of observation (Figure 2).
Ultrasound images of the right testicle during treatment and follow-up. From postoperative day 3 (A) to postoperative week 2 (B), the ultrasound showed two patchy hypoechoic areas (arrow) in the right testicle, which gradually narrowed and almost returned to normalcy. Two weeks after surgery, testicular ultrasound microvascular imaging (C) showed a short lines-like blood flow signal in the right testicular tissue. The ultrasound follow-up conducted 3 months after surgery showed that the right testicle was slightly smaller than the left testicle (D).

The blood flow signals were observed in the surrounding testicular tissue of hypoechogenicity (Figure 3A). A color Doppler ultrasound conducted 2 weeks after surgery showed that the internal echo of the right testicle was normal without any abnormal echo areas and the blood flow signal was better than that observed before (Figure 3B). Testicular ultrasound microvascular imaging showed a short-line blood flow signal in the right testicular tissue (Figure 3C). The right testicle was slightly smaller than the left testicle (Figure 3D).
