Acute scrotum consists of testicular pain associated with local inflammatory signs and is very unsual in neonates and infants. We present a case of a 2-month-old infant with right scrotal swelling and erythema of 48 hours' evolution. Peak fever in the emergency department. On examination, the teste was painful on palpation, with cremasteric reflex present. Testicular ultrasound showed right orchiepididymitis with associated hydrocele. Laboratory tests show leukocytosis, neutrophilia and minimal elevation of acute phase reactants. Urine culture isolated Escherichia coli. He received antibiotherapy for 2 weeks with good evolution. Orchiepididymitis is an acute inflammation of the testicle and epididymis, and it is a very rare pathology in neonates and infants. Haematogenous dissemination is the most frequent cause in this age group, with E. coli being the most frequently isolated germ. Therefore, in neonates and infants with orchiepididymitis, considering the risk of associated bacteraemia, it is essential to optimize the diagnosis by including a complete sepsis study together with Doppler ultrasound and the early initiation of empirical antibiotherapy.
