음낭부종을 동반한 Henoch-Schonlein 자반증 1례 : A Case Report = Hencoch-Schonlein Purpura with Scrotal Swelling

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Henoch-Schonlein purpura, or anaphylactoid purpura, is a systemic vasculitis characterized by nonthrombocytopenic purpura and skin, joint, intestinal, and genitourinary involvement. There is unknown etiology and its urologic significances include renal parenchymal involvement, urethritis, renal pelvis bleeding, and acute pain and swelling of the spermatic cord and scrotum. Scrotal involvement has been reported in up to one third of patients. The disease is self-limiting, but it is important to distinguish it from testicular torsion because of similar symptoms and prevalent age, and different treatment option.
We have experienced one case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura with scrotal swelling. The patient was a 3 year old boy and his chief complaints were purpuric skin rash, arthralgia, abdominal pain, and scrotal swelling. The scrotal swelling was improved without complication for 4 days hospitalization. So we reported this case with literatures.
